“There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet; impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in a sickly air. People can be slave-ships in shoes.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Your top has sunk too low,
Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The wild touch of thy dye-dusty wing!
I found that wing broken today!”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
