The Negro Speaks of Rivers Conheo rios: Conheo rios to antigos quanto o mundo e mais velhos que o fluxo de sangue humano nas veias humanas.

Minha alma se tornou profunda como os rios.

Banhei-me no Eufrates quando eram jovens as auroras. Constru minha cabana junto ao Congo e ele me cantou canes de ninar. Olhei para o Nilo e acima dele levantei as pirmides. Ouvi o canto do Mississippi quando Abe Lincoln desceu at New Orleans e vi seu seio lamacento tornar-se ouro, ao pr-do-sol. Conheo rios: Antigos, cinzentos rios. Minha alma se tornou profunda como os rios. Langston Hughes, 1920

[] me senti triste que o jovem disse isso, pois nenhum grande poeta jamais teve medo de ser ele mesmo. [...] Mas essa a montanha no caminho de qualquer verdadeira arte negra na Amrica -- essa vontade dentro da raa em direo brancura, o desejo de derramar individualidade racial nos moldes da padronizao americana, e ser to pouco negro e quanto mais americano quanto possvel. (HUGHES, 1926:1)

On Harlem -- Deferred Dreams

O que acontece quando se adia um sonho? Ser que ele seca Como uva passa? Ser que inflama como ferida E depois apodrece? Ser que fede como carnia? Ou cristaliza Como a calda do doce? Talvez s se acomode Como carga pesada. Ou ser que explode?
