    “10 April 1800—
    Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    I never saw youe madam laye aparte
    Your cornet black, in colde nor yet in heate,
    Sythe first ye knew of my desire so greate,
    Which other fances chac’d cleane from my harte.
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    But that’s always the way; it don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway.... It takes up more room than all the rest of a person’s insides, and yet ain’t no good, nohow. Tom Sawyer thinks the same.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
