Langston Hughes Quotes About Running

Quotes about: Running

• What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?

  Langston Hughes

  Running, Dream, Sweet

  "Harlem" l. 1 (1951)

• Let the rain kiss you.
  Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
  Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
  The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
  The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
  The rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night-
  And I love the rain.
