- Book 2 of 5: Southern Essays
John Devanny's work is in the great tradition of Southern essayists like Poe, Simms, Weaver, Davidson, O'Connor, and Percy.
Excerpts:
"This modest collection is designed to express the mentalitie' of a Southern conservative who holds to the old verities of faith and family, place, tradition, and custom. And who views history, and politics, and culture through the lens of not just changes, but important continuities."
" . . . we know our good Yankee progressive cannot stop at the borders of his home state; He wants to bring the City on the Hill to you, whether you want it or not. "
"The monuments erected in honour of specific political and military leaders of the Confederacy and of its ordinary soldiers and citizens, are meant to call to mind the fortitude, forbearance, patience in suffering, and self-sacrifice practiced by these men and women. . . . Indeed, this should be the working assumption of any civilized individual who comes upon the monuments of the other side. Only barbarians desecrate."
'' . . . once the impious destroys the ties to tradition and piety, so too are the virtues that are allow for civilisation to be sundered. . . . One can reject the patrimony, but once the house is pulled down and the Jacobin has sown the wind, what then shall he reap?"
"Let us I advocate instead for the best in the Southern tradition and rebuild it each day and in every moment of our lives. Let us avoid (and forgive) the sins of our fathers, but more so let us imitate their virtues and always defend their honour."
