Pretending We went to Dan Lynch's, & listened to White musicians pretending that they were Black. And the people next to us jumped up & down, pretending that they were rock stars. And I put my hand on your knee, pretending that I was your lover. You remained aloof. Why did you have to be the only one who insisted on being yourself?

PDPaul Laurence Dunbar
Romancier, nuvelist și poet.

Dunbar gained national recognition for his 1896 Lyrics of a Lowly Life, one poem in the collection Ode to Ethiopia.

Hancu George
Inspiration Inspiration Sit down she said, pen me a few lines, tell me of life, love, hopes and dreams. write to me of much happier times When love ruled your heart, and life it seemed Was full of possibilities, plans and endless schemes. I took up the challenge, and began to write, Of life, of love and hopes and dreams, Words flowed like rivers, as I wrote them down, Thinking all the while of the lady I'd found To inspire my thoughts, and urge me on, To make something beautiful, maybe a song. Into the small hours, I toiled away, writing down lines, throwing them away. 'Twas then that I realised, that the happier times That she spoke of and wanted, were not of that time. For the happier times were not from long ago, But were here with me now, and now I know, That 'twas the love for this lady, that made my words flow, And to write something beautiful, for her, her alone. I wrote of life, and my living with her, Of love, her in my arms forever more, Of hopes, a future for us so bright,...

Sylvia Plath
Born to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem when she was eight. Sensitive, intelligent, compelled toward perfection in everything she attempted, she was, on the surface, a model daughter, popular in school, earning straight A\'s, winning the best prizes. By the time she entered Smith College on a scholarship in 1950 she already had an impressive list of publications, and while at Smith she wrote over four hundred poems. Sylvia\'s surface perfection was however underlain by grave personal discontinuities, some of which doubtless had their origin in the death of her father (he was a college professor and an expert on bees) when she was eight. During the summer following her junior year at Smith, having returned from a stay in New York City where she had been a student ``guest editor\'\' at Mademoiselle Magazine, Sylvia nearly succeeded in killing herself by swallowing sleeping pills. She later described this experience in an...

Harry White de Danciu
din Prefață lui Ștefan Doru Dăncuș la cartea: Sânt pentru ca Este Harry White de Danciu s-a născut într-o lume a lacrimei terestre, satul Trestia din Maramureș. Acolo unde copilăria nu se pierde niciodată pe ulițele satului pline de praf, în luna când florile se rup din mugure prevestind învierea lui Isus. S-a risipit în parfumul universului, cu o chitară adesea sub braț, trecănd trist pe străzile întunecate ale unui oraș din România. Un steag, o mașină de tors, o lampă de mină, o piatră de la Chiuzbaia și alte câteva obiecte rustice, reprezintă pentru el zestrea româneascăa printre străaini. Dacă ar fi judecat după acestea, nu poate fi considerat un om bogat; în rest își trăieste viața pentru a putea răspunde la căteva întrebări esențiale pe care și le-a pus. Imaginea lui este mereu aceiași din vremea când a fost învățător în lumea copilăriei sale, pentru că nu există nicăieri pe pămănt un tablou mai frumos decăt acel al întoarcerii Învățătorului. Cartea de față (Sânt pentru ca Este)...
