“To be southern like the South’s time, part ghost, part momentum.”

TO BE AN IMAGE that regards the historic South’s impression. To be an index, a document, a testament, a moment, a facsimile, a reference, a distillation, a memory … of that physical and nonphysical region. To feel of the South, and southern, like an accent can. To ring the southern bell. Gonggg. To be like infrared, resonating below the Mason–Dixon Line.
