“When the door shut for him, he had already written on this side of it that which every artist who also carries through life with him that one same foreknowledge and hatred of death, is hoping to do: I was here”
William Faulkner commenting upon the life and work of Albert Camus after the French writer’s death, cited by Open Culture, along with a recording of Faulkner’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
Happy Birthday Mr. Faulkner.
