I. Me, You, and Us: The Rise of Something New

October 31, 2003 by admin

Some things are very dear to me —
Such thing as flowers bathed by rain
Or patterns traced upon the sea
Or crocuses where snow has lain . . . .
The iridescence of a gem,
The moon's cool opalescent light,
Azaleas and the scent of them,
And honeysuckles in the night.

— African American poet Gwendolyn Bennett, “Sonnet II” ¹
