The Souls of Black Folk · ¶27

Unresting water, there shall never be rest     Till the last moon droop and the last tide fail, And the fire of the end begin to burn in the west;         And the heart shall be weary and wonder and cry like the sea,     All life long crying without avail,         As the water all night long is crying to me.
