 [W]e have always resented the natural inclination of most white people to demand spirituals the moment it is known that a Negro is about to sing. So often the request has seemed to savor of the feeling that we could do this and this alone. |
| For we must be one thing or the other, an asset or a liability, the sinew in your wing to help you soar, or the chain to bind you to earth. |
| If I am going to be a poet at all, I am going to be POET and not NEGRO POET. |
| If I am going to be a poet at all, I am going to be POET and not NEGRO POET. |
| My poetry, I think, has become the way of my giving out what music is within me. |
| So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds, And wait, and tend our agonizing seeds. |
| The key to all strange things is in thy heart..../ My spirit has come home, that sailed the doubtful seas. |

| Yet do I marvel at this curious thing:/ To make a poet black, and bid him sing! |
| Your love to me was like an unread book . . . |
