Langston Hughes Quote

I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.


"The Negro Speaks of Rivers," from The Weary Blues (1926).


I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
