    “Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.”
    —Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

    “And I weep;
    For the lime-tree is in blossom
    And one small flower has dropped upon my bosom.”
    —Amy Lowell (1874–1925)

    “I passed a little further on and heard a lotus talk:
    Who made the world and ruleth it, He hangeth on a stalk,
    For I am in His image made, and all this tinkling tide
    Is but a sliding drop of rain between His petals wide.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
