Walker

Famous quotes containing the word walker:

    croppers rotting shacks
    with famine, terror, flood, and plague near by;
    where sentiment and hatred still held sway
    and only bitter land was washed away.
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers’ names.
    —Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    An evil moon bleeds drops of death.
    The earth burns brown.
    Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
    Earth wears a dun-colored dress
    like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
    be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
