    “The shadow of the Venetian blind on the painted wall,
    Shadows of the snake-plant and cacti, the plaster animals,
    Focus the tragic melancholy of the bright stare
    Into nowhere, a hole like the black holes in space.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “Night’s brittle song, silver-thin
    Shatters into a billion fragments
    Of quiet shadows
    At the blaring jazz
    Of a morning sun.”
    —Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)
