Upon the clothes behind the tenement,
That hang like ghosts suspended from the lines, Linking each flat, but to each indifferent, Incongruous and strange the moonlight shines.

Claude McKay

I know the dark delight of being strange,
The penalty of difference in the crowd,
The loneliness of wisdom among fools

Claude McKay

Devoured her with their eager, passionate gaze;
But looking at her falsely-smiling face,
I knew her self was not in that strange place.
