Quotes
- “And there, a field rat, startled, squealing bleeds,His belly close to ground. I see the blade,Blood-stained, continue cutting weeds and shade”
- “O singers, resinous and soft your songsAbove the sacred whisper of the pines,Give virgin lips to cornfield concubines,Bring dreams of Christ to dusky cane-lipped throngs.”
- “Superstition sawSomething it had never seen before:Brown eyes that loved without a trace of fear,Beauty so sudden for that time of year.”
- “One seed becomesAn everlasting song, a singing tree,Caroling softly souls of slavery,What they were, and what they are to me,Caroling softly souls of slavery.”
