“In the life of everyone there is a limited number
of experiences which are not written upon the memory,
but stamped there with a die; and in the long years after,
they can be called up in detail, and every emotion
that was stirred by them can be lived through anew;
these are the tragedies of life.”


―  James Weldon Johnson, 
poet

 
Today is the poet's birthday (b. 1871)!!!
