Libba Bray Quotes
The Wind Swoops Over The Tenements On Orchard Street, Where Some Of Those Starry-eyed Dreams Have Died And Yet Other Dreams Are Being Born Into Squalor And Poverty, An Uphill Climb. It Gives A Slap To The Laundry Stretched On Lines Between Tenements, Over Dirty, Broken Streets Where, Even At This Hour, Hungry Children Scour The Bins For Food. The Wind Has Existed Forever. It Has Seen Much In This Country Of Dreams And Soap Ads, Old Horrors And Bloodshed. It Has Played Mute Witness To Its Burning Witches, And Has Walked Along A Trail Of Tears; It Has Seen The Slave Ships Release Their Human Cargo, Blinking And Afraid, Into The Ports, Their Only Possession A Grief They Can Never Lose.
