Come: there shall be such islanding from grief,

Consult a dual dilemma. Whether to dry
In humming pallor or to leap and die.

Additional quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks

My Poem is life, and not finished. It shall never be finished. My Poem is life, and can grow. Wherever life can grow, it will. It will sprout out, and do the best it can. I give you what I have. You don’t get all your questions answered in this world. How many answers shall be found in the developing world of my Poem? I don’t know. Nevertheless I put my Poem, which is my life, into your hands, where it will do the best it can.
