We Shall Not Always Plant While Others

If I Am Going To Be A Poet At All, I Am Going To Be Poet And Not Negro Poet.

Never Love With All Your Heart, It Only Ends In Aching.

Whatever Lives Is Granted Breath But By The Grace And Sufferance Of Death.

Dame Poverty Gave Me My Name, And Pain Godfathered Me.

I Cut My Teeth As The Black Raccoon-- For Implements Of Battle.
