            <text>This image by William Eggleston (of which a large detail is reproduced on the book cover) is, like most of Eggleston's photos, untitled except by location and date, and so far I am unable to find a date. For that matter, I am also hard pressed to find a precise location. &lt;br /&gt;What I do know, however, is that the image is reproduced on page 88 of Eggleston's 1990 monograph &lt;em&gt;Faulkner's Mississippi,&lt;/em&gt; which at least gives me the state. It may even be in or near the city of Oxford, where Faulkner made his home, a good 400 miles away from the historic river.&lt;br /&gt;(Interesting to note: in &lt;em&gt;Faulkner's Mississippi&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;, the &lt;br /&gt;text on the page facing this photograph contains a paragraph or two from Faulkner's original, unpublished introduction to &lt;em&gt;The Sound and the Fury&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Location and date aside, Eggleston's photo provides a fitting cover image, as it itself is roiling and full of fury.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;One might wonder, though, what Eggleston, a legendery stickler for the precise hue, value and saturation of his photographs, might think of this iteration of his photo. Reproduced in &lt;em&gt;Faulkner's Mississippi&lt;/em&gt;, it looks more or less like what it is: moving, muddy water. As an illustration for this book jacket, it resembles nothing short of fiery lava.</text>
