Langston Hughes, 1932
Vintage silver print
James Mercer Langston Hughes was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes, “Harlem” from Collected Poems.
