Zora Neale Hurston
The spirit of the marriage left the bedroom and took to living in the parlor.
Zora Neale Hurston
So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter.
Zora Neale Hurston
He was the average mortal. It troubled him to get used to the world one way and then suddenly have it turn different.
Zora Neale Hurston
The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.
