Richard Wright
“176

Winter rain at night
Sweetening the taste of bread
And spicing the soup.”
Richard Wright, Haiku: This Other World

Richard Wright
“Is not life exactly what it ought to be, in a certain sense? Isn't it only the naive who find all of this baffling? If you've a notion of what man's heart is, wouldn't you say that maybe the whole effort of man on earth to build a civilization is simply man's frantic and frightened attempt to hide himself from himself?”
Richard Wright
