Answer:

Second person

Explanation:

In this excerpt of Faulkner's Absalom Absalom!, the use of second person point of view is seen, in which the author addresses the reader by using the pronoun "you", or refers to another character within the narrative.  

This point of view engages and immerses the reader in a significant way, as the reader can feel or experience the events in the story as if he/she were the main character.
