I wasn't sure if it was Percy who had originally
said this, or Percy quoting Flannery O'Connor or someone else. I
recently came across it in "Signposts in a Strange Land" in the epilogue "An
Interview with Zoltan Abadi-Nagy" -- last line (p. 396, Picador).
Am I correct in assuming this is a "Percy
original" and this is the first time the phrase had been said? Or is he
referring to another use of the phrase?
By the way, I just finished Tolson's biography of
Percy ("Pilgrim in the Ruins") and I thought it was fantastic.
