Bontemps

Famous quotes containing the word bontemps:

    There is a sound of music echoing
    Through the open door
    And in the field there is
    Another sound tinkling in the cotton:
    Chains of bondmen dragging on the ground.
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    Go through the gates with closed eyes.
    Stand erect and let your black face front the west.

    God suffer little men
    The taste of soul’s desire.
