“Of course Im a black writer.... Im not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer arent marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call literature is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“He told of the Magnolia, spread
High as a cloud, high over head!
The Cypress and her spire;
MOf flowers that with one scarlet gleam
Cover a hundred leagues, and seem
To set the hills on fire.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
