I called my best friend today, who is an Obama supporter and an African American gentleman, to congratulate him on the occasion of the inauguration. There's a two line poem by W.B. Yeats called "Parnell" that might have some relevance to the African American community at this time. Or not. But here it is:
"Parnell came down the road, he said to a cheering man;
'Ireland shall get her freedom and you still break stone.'"
(New Poems, 1938)
