“Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesn’t look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, “we will all die”, and she calls on the good Lord.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Hermia. Good night, sweet friend;
Thy love ne’er alter till thy sweet life end!
Lysander. Amen, amen, to that fair prayer say I,
And then end life when I end loyalty!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
