Anne Spencer, « Letter to My Sister », in Margaret Busby (ed.), Daughters of Africa : An International Anthology of Words and Writings by Women of African Descent: From the Ancient Egyptian to the Present, New York : Pantheon Books, 1992, p. 177.

« Letter to My Sister It is dangerous for a woman to defy the gods; To taunt them with the tongue’s thin tip, Or strut in the weakness of mere humanity, Or draw a line daring them to cross; The gods own the searing lightning, The drowning waters, tormenting fears And anger of red sins. Oh, but worse still if you mince timidly – Dodge this way or that, or kneel or pray, Be kind, or sweat agony drops Or lay your quick body over your feeble young; If you have beauty or none, if celibate Or vowed – the gods are Juggernaut, Passing over…over… This you may do: Lock your heart, then, quietly, And lest they peer within, Light no lamp when dark comes down Raise no shade for sun; Breathless must your breath come through If you die and dare deny The gods their god-like fun. »
