I can’t find this poem anywhere else online so I’m posting it here:
Colored Blues Singer
Some weep to find the Golden Pear
Feeds maggots at the core,
And some grow cold as Ice, and bear
Them prouder than before
But you go singing like the sea
Whose lover turns to land;
You make your grief a melody
And take it by the hand.
Such songs the mellow-bosomed maids
Of Africa intone
For lovers dead in hidden glades,
Slow rotting flesh and bone.
Such keenings tremble from the kraal,
Where sullen-browed abides
The second wife whose dark tears fail
To draw him to her sides.
Somewhere Jeritza breaks her heart
On symbols Verdi wrote;
You tear the strings of your soul apart,
Blood dripping note by note.
1. Maria Jeritza, a Chech-born soprano was a major opera star of the twenties and thirties.”
2. Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), Italian composer of some of the most famous operas in the world, including Aida (1871), Otello (1887), Il Trovatore (1853) and La Traviata (1853)
Is there a single source that all spoken languages on earth share in common? Maybe. A new study in linguistics by Dr. Quentin D. Atkinson, a biologist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand shows that languages may have originated from a common “seed.” The study seems to correspond with what biologists have proven about genetic code: that the further from South Africa people traveled while populating the world the more of their genetic code and, possibly, their language people lost. It’s an interesting theory. One that, if it bears out in further tests, will change the way we see linguistics forever. Read the full article at the New York Times.
