Hello:
---
[walking in the countryside at night; Paralee is a black servant]
“Maybe we all ought to walk in the middle,” he said, loud, too loud,
twice louder than he had intended or even thought; it should carry for
miles especially over a whole countryside already hopelessly waked and
alerted by the sleepless sibilant what Paralee probably and old
Ephraim certainly and Lucas too would call “miration” of the pines.
She was looking at him now. He could feel it.
Intruder in the Dust
William Faulkner
---
“miration”: admiration??
Thanks.

Probably, etymologically. It seems to mean something like "stir" or
"fuss" in these examples:

Seems to be a combination commotion and suspiration, the sound of the
pines as the wind blows through them.
