The phrase appears in a monologue in "Wash", a story by William Faulkner, and is used by a white slave. He is talking about his master, Sutpen. The monologue is the following:
"He is bigger than all them Yankees that kilt his son and his wife and taken his niggers and ruined his land, bigger than this hyer durn country that he fit for and that has denied him into keeping a little country store; bigger than the denial which hit helt to his lips like the bitter cup in the Book."
