Additional quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks
To be in love
Is to touch things with a lighter hand.
In yourself you stretch, you are well.
<b>Truth</b>
And if sun comes
How shall we greet him?
Shall we not dread him,
Shall we not fear him
After so lengthy a
Session with shade?
Though we have wept for him,
Though we have prayed
All through the night-years — What if we wake one shimmering morning to
Hear the fierce hammering
Of his firm knuckles
Hard on the door?
Shall we not shudder? — Shall we not flee
Into the shelter, the dear thick shelter
Of the familiar
Propitious haze?
Sweet is it, sweet is it
To sleep in the coolness
Of snug unawareness.
The dark hangs heavily
Over the eyes.
He who was Goodness, Gentleness,
And Dignity is free,
Translates to public Love
Old private charity.
