Claude McKay Quotes

I Plucked My Soul Out Of Its Secret Place,
And Held It To The Mirror Of My Eye,
To See It Like A Star Against The Sky,
A Twitching Body Quivering In Space,
A Spark Of Passion Shining On My Face.
And I Explored It To Determine Why
This Awful Key To My Infinity
Conspires To Rob Me Of Sweet Joy And Grace.
And If The Sign May Not Be Fully Read,
If I Can Comprehend But Not Control,
I Need Not Gloom My Days With Futile Dread,
Because I See A Part And Not The Whole.
Contemplating The Strange, I'm Comforted
By This Narcotic Thought: I Know My Soul.
