East Jordan

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or jordan:

    Once did She hold the gorgeous East in fee;
    And was the safeguard of the West:
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)
