humanity has been passing through a gray and desolate time of confusion. my great predecessor, william faulkner, speaking here, referred to it as a tragedy of universal fear so long sustained that there were no longer problems of the spirit, so that only the human heart in conflict with itself seemed worth writing about.
faulkner, more than most men, was aware of human strength as well as of human weakness. he knew that the understanding and the resolution of fear are a large part of the writer"s reason for being.
this is not new. the ancient commission of the writer has not changed. he is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement.
