“Against the day of sorrow
Lay by some trifling thing
A smile, a kiss, a flower,
For sweet remembering”

“Your world is as big as you make it.
I know, for I used to abide
In the narrowest nest in a corner,
My wings pressing close to my side.”

“When I rise up above the earth,
And look down on the things that fetter me,
I beat my wings upon the air,
Or tranquil lie,
Surge after surge of potent strength
Like incense comes to me
When I rise up above the earth
And look down upon the things that fetter me”
― Georgia Douglas Johnson
