Jewel and I come up from the field, following the path in single file. Although I am fifteen feet ahead of him, anyone watching us from the cotton-house can see Jewel's frayed and broken straw hat a full head above my own.
The path runs straight as a plumb-line, worn smooth by feet and baked brick-hard by July, between the green rows of laid-by cotton, to the cotton-house in the centre of the field, where it turns and circles the cotton-house at four soft right angles and goes on across the field again, worn so by feet in fading precision.

Description
William Faulkner's 1930 masterpiece of Southern Gothic modernism, narrated in turn by fifteen voices — including, famously, one chapter from beyond the grave — as the Bundren family hauls their mother's coffin across the flooded Mississippi countryside to fulfill her dying wish: burial in the town of Jefferson.
