RKS American Literature: A Revolutionary and His Faith in Dynamite! (Katherine Anne Porter)

Everything must be torn from its accustomed place where it has rotted for centuries, hurled skyward and distributed, cast down again clean as rain, without separate identity. Nothing shall survive that the stiffened hands of poverty have created for the rich and no one shall be kept alive except the elect spirits destined to procreate a new world cleansed of cruelty and injustice ruled by benevolent anarchy.: “Pistols are good. I love them, cannon are even better. But in the end I pin my faith to good dynamite.”

Katherine Anne Porter, “Flowering Judas”, 1930
