    “The shattered water made a misty din.

    That water never did to land before.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “For four hundred years the blacks of Haiti had yearned for peace. for three hundred years the island was spoken of as a paradise of riches and pleasures, but that was in reference to the whites to whom the spirit of the land gave welcome. Haiti has meant split blood and tears for blacks.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
