Clark B. A., Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, 1997 M.A., Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, 1999 May 2003 For Aubrey and all those who have known both worlds Few have seen as many masks fall as we out here, few have seen so much baseness, cowardice, weakness, self-seeking and vanity as we, and few so much worthiness and silent nobility of soul. Above the noise and the glory of all battles and victories, the image of this hour continues to shine within me, and in my senses, as the strongest impression of my whole life.
