Love your solitude and bear with sweet-sounding lamentation the suffering it causes you.

Lieben Sie Ihre Einsamkeit, und tragen Sie den Schmerz, den sie Ihnen verursacht mit schoklingender Klage.

Another quote from the 1920s

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen"
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how
beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
