Alice Walker (2003). “The third life of Grange Copeland: Meridian ; The color purple”

Be nobody's darling; Be an outcast. Take the contradictions Of your life And wrap around You like a shawl, To parry stones To keep you warm. Watch the people succumb To madness With ample cheer; Let them look askance at you And you askance reply.

Be nobody's darling; Be an outcast. Qualified to live Among your dead.

Alice Walker

Hurt, Cheer, Rivers
