Quotes by Nancy Cunard (?)

“Daring to look behind and look again
A-head for all the slowly coming days,
See nothing but the Carnivals of Peace,
Forget the dreams of death and other ways
Men have imagined for their own decrease...
I'd write a song to conquer all our tears
Lasting for ever through the folding years.”
― Nancy Cunard

“All were there,
This life's alarmers, sowing their future harvests,
Rife weeds of conflict---
all but one
That I name never, Jealousy.”
― Nancy Cunard
