—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Ah, like a comet through flame she moves entranced
Wrapt in her music no bird song, no, nor bough
Breaking with honey buds, shall ever equal.”

Surely the devil drove them on.”
—Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)

caress a stranger’s flesh with lucid oil before
a word is spoken
no feasting
before a tale is told, before
the stranger tells his name.”
