贴2首黑人诗人的作品，看非裔走到今天所经历的漫长道路。
1. Heritage
-- by Gwendolyn Bennett （1923）
I want to see the slim palm-trees,
Pulling at the clouds
With little pointed fingers....
I want to see lithe Negro girls,
Etched dark against the sky
While sunset lingers.
I want to hear the silent sands,
Singing to the moon
Before the Sphinx-still face....
I want to hear the chanting
Around a heathen fire
Of a strange black race.
I want to breathe the Lotus flow'r,
Sighing to the stars
With tendrils drinking at the Nile....
I want to feel the surging
Of my sad people's soul
Hidden by a minsrel-smile.
2. The Negro Speaks of Rivers
-- by Langston Hughes （1920）I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers. 作者原声朗读： www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15722
