    They said they were anhungry; sighed forth proverbs--
    That hunger broke stone walls, that dogs must eat,
    That meat was made for mouths, that the gods sent not
    Corn for the rich men only. With these shreds
    They vented their complainings, which being answered
    And a petition granted them, a strange one,
    To break the heart of generosity,
    And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps
    As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon,
    Shouting their emulation.

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.
