Masters of the Dew Quotes

“Suddenly the sun was up. It sparkled like a dewy foam across the field of weeds. Master Sun! Honor and respect, Master Sun! We black men greet you with a swirl of hoes snatching bright sparks of fire from the sky.”
― Langston Hughes, Masters of the Dew

“Yes, there is relief, too! I'm going to tell you what - it's the earth, your own plot of land that you've cleared by the strength of your arms, with your own fruit trees around it and your own stock in the pasture, everything you need right there - with your own freedom bounded by nothing but the weather, good or bad, rain or drought.”
― Jacques Roumain, Masters of the Dew
