"Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies.
And be it gash or gold it will not come
Again in this identical disguise.”
“Live not for Battles Won.
Live not for The-End-of-the-Song.
Live in the along.”
- from "Speech To The Young Speech To The Progress-Toward" by Gwendolyn Brooks

“My Poem is life, and not finished.
It shall never be finished.
My Poem is life, and can grow.”
