"Say it strong, say it loud—
I'm Bahamian, and I'm proud!"
"To the untrue man,
the whole universe is false—
it is impalpable—it shrinks
to nothing within his grasp.
And he himself insofar as
he shows himself
in a false light,
becomes a shadow,
or, indeed, ceases to exist."
Nathaniel Hawthorne
THE SCARLET LETTER
| JOE |
I mean, who am I? That's the real question, isn't it? Who am I? Who are you? What other questions are there? |
John Patrick Shanley,
"Joe Versus The Volcano"
Chapter cxxxii
The Symphony
"It was a clear
steel-blue day. The firmaments of
air and sea
were
hardly separable
in that all-pervading azure;
only, the pensive air
was transparently pure and soft,
with a woman's look,
and the
robust and
man-like sea heaved
with long, strong,
lingering swells,
as Samson's chest
in his sleep."
Herman Melville
MOBY DICK
