Additional quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks

I hold my honey and I store my bread
In little jars and cabinets of my will.
I label clearly, and each latch and lid
I bid, Be firm till I return from hell.

Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies. And be it gash or gold it will not come Again in this identical guise.

Somebody muffed it?? Somebody wanted to joke.
