Poems/Quotes | Copyright/Library Information

---

Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
we ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing.

As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds,
seeming to be the Chimes of Freedom flashing.

Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight,
flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight.

- Bob Dylan, "Chimes of Freedom"

 

You will come to learn how bitter as salt and stone
is the bread of others, how hard the way that goes
up and down stairs that never are your own.

- Dante Alighieri, Paradiso (XVII, 58-60)
