'Dupree went back to his apartment, changed into his running clothes, and set out in the deepening cold twilight to run off his tension, but even deep into his exercise high, his mind returned again and again to Ennis’s cautions, and his doubt that Dupree would be able to do anything to suppress being queer. He had to face it, to give in to the inevitable, to succumb to what his body seemed to be dragging him toward, what his dreams and fantasies kept returning to, again and again.'
- The Red Stallion Chapter 114: Nowhere to Run
A further addition to the Laramie Lexicon:
a jeremiad: Originally, a long-drawn-out lamentation for a deep personal loss. In Laramie, a short moment of nostalgic regret at having lost one's delusions of being heterosexual, followed by excited anticipation of the pleasures of the new world of queerness one is about to enter into.
