    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.”
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    “last time I saw you was the hospital
    pale skull protruding under ashen skin
    blue veined unconscious girl
    in an oxygen tent
    the war in Spain has ended long ago
    Aunt Rose”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
