Biography: 

When Temple in Sanctuary thinks of the baseball game in Starkville that she is missing, she imagines "the green diamond dotted with players." The description of their playing is unmistakably in Faulkner's words, however, not hers: "encouraging one another with short meaningless cries, plaintive, wary and forlorn" (37).
