“He had come down, He said, to clean the earth
Of the dirtiness of war.
Now tell of why His power failed Him there?

He found how much the people wanted war.”

“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

“Strike on your drummes, spread out your ancyents!
Sound out your trumpetts, sound out amaine!”
