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

Richard Wright
“176

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