Makes wing to th’ rooky wood.

Whiles night’s black agents to their preys do rouse.”

—Administration in the State of Neva, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The blues women had a commanding presence and a refreshing robustness. They were nurturers, taking the yeast of experience, kneading it into dough, molding it and letting it grow in their minds to bring the listener bread for sustenance, shaped by their sensibilities.”
—Rosetta Reitz, U.S. author. As quoted in The Political Palate, ch. 10, by Betsey Beaven et al. (1980)
