Muriel Rukeyser Quote

Call off your black dog, death,
it cannot bark me down:
I'll travel past these wounds
and speak another breath!


Theory of Flight (1935)


Call off your black dog, death, it cannot bark me down: I'll travel past these wounds and speak another breath!

Call off your black dog, death, it cannot bark me down: I'll travel past these wounds and speak another breath!

Call off your black dog, death, it cannot bark me down: I'll travel past these wounds and speak another breath!

Call off your black dog, death, it cannot bark me down: I'll travel past these wounds and speak another breath!
