“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“On me your voice falls as they say love should,
Like an enormous yes. My Crescent City

Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
