Pages 80-81 of As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner:
I would like to write about sleep, because sleep is what I need. Right now I would consider myself "empty of sleep" just as Darl describes on page 80. Because quite honestly, what is a person without sleep? They are deprived of one of the most beautiful things in the world and without sleep we would all be tired human beings just wandering around not getting anything achieved. Sleep is honestly a beautiful thing, especially after sleeping in on a long weekend, or on summer vacation. But, the fact that Darl narrates about sleep and how it makes you what you are, and what you are not, it makes me think and wonder whether I am or not in Darl's point of view. But, who knows, I could have interpreted the sleep mumbo-jumbo completely wrong.
