Hayden

Famous quotes containing the word hayden:

    My head gripped in bony vise
    of knees, the writhing struggle
    to wrench free, the blows, the fear
    worse than blows that hateful

    Words could bring, the face that I
    no longer knew or loved. . . .
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    Standing to America, bringing home
    black gold, black ivory, black seed.
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    “10 April 1800—
    Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
