Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Light! more light! the shadows deepen, And my life is ebbing low, Throw the windows widely open: Light! more light! before I go. “Softly let the balmy sunshine Play around my dying bed, E’er the dimly lighted valley I with lonely feet must tread. “Light! more light! for Death is weaving Shadows ‘round my waning sight, And I fain would gaze upon him Through a stream of earthly light.” Not for greater gifts of genius; Not for thoughts more grandly bright, All the dying poet whispers Is a prayer for light, more light. Heeds he not the gathered laurels, Fading slowly from his sight; All the poet’s aspirations Centre in that prayer for light. Gracious Saviour, when life’s day-dreams Melt and vanish from the sight, May our dim and longing vision Then be blessed with light, more light.

The music of my adolescence, Little Joe was the first album, I ever bought. It was 1970, when I first heard Little Joe, it made me happy and I had an uncontrollable urge to dance.

Bro I try listening to poetry and this one is funny it takes time to learn fr

Outstanding

❤❤❤❤❤

Pls Anyone give me the stanza by stanza explanation of this poem Pleasee please✨

She is such a fabulous musician, a pure national treasure

Pls somebody say the summary of the poem

That's exactly what i always said. Ain't no one playing what im hearing in my head.

Beautiful art! Always was facinated by the use of the purple in clam shells in jewelry. Cape Cod family from the mainland looking out into Nantucket Sound. Recently found a piece while walking Nauset; it's so smooth and cool to the touch, just the right size for a "worrystone." Brings me a feeling of connectivity to the ocean. Would love to know the fibers you use. Probably, should have gone to Powwow (tourist season, so I stay low).

👏🏿👏🏿

Favorite book, read front to back no break, senior year of highschool, was never a reader

Thank you this was very interesting

I am sorry for this late comment 2 yr ago i learned (I am the People poem and this poem) and I won the competition 😔❤️thxxxxxxccc 💥

"Each individual has their own path. They have their own relationship with their creator. Develop that and everything else falls into place." Well said, nothing is more realistic than That. Cassandra I have been a big fan for years and for real. 💚🖤🤎

Too echoey, wrong emotional state, intonation, emphasis, etc. Redo it in your closet right after you’ve been dumped (again).

Cassandra Wilson is amazing. and I love her music.

Fantastic musician and such a beautiful tune at the end. Does anyone know the name of the tune?

What a great band! The real deal.

🙏🏿🎶🎶

BIG BLUES MANE 🫡🎸

Never forget the first time I heard Return To Forever - just mindblowing!

How are I wish I could make just one basket. I was never shown how to do it because I lived in the big city and I was a white girl. Years later when I moved to a small town in Nebraska I met a wonderful Omaha medicine woman Who was willing to teach me but she lived in Kansas and I had no transportation to get to her home. She died and took all of her talents and learning with her. I love you Mrs. Wamego and I miss you.❤

Chills. Literal chils.

My grandma and my mom show me how to do those baskets.the best

A truly beautiful woman without and within.

Beautiful!!!

I wish I really knew what this was about, but Kaden Hughes recites it with such marvelous dramatic timing!

I love to sew and embroider, my art form is to create with needle and. thead. I really admire folks who can quilt like this!! Even the simple form of quilting is a daunting challenge. These beautiful story or narrative quilts are truly works of art, like jeweled tapestries..Bravo.❤❤

Mad respect for Brother Workman and his body of work at Blue Note. However, Paul Chambers, and Bob Cranshaw had a huge bass line footprint in the music of the Golden Age of Blue Note.

I only wish I had an iota of his exuberance and passion for storytelling and for life.

Groovy. But confused, why did everyone except Jesus identify themselves according to race?

🎉🎉🎉 rest well Wayne. Job well done

Wonderful tribute to a man, his culture, traditions and ancestors .

I love Ed. I love his stories how his mother who was very young when she had him, gave him to her grandmother (I think, I'll watch it again. Everything about him, his land his weaving, his love for nature makes me nostalgic for times when we went in the so called bush and gathered, wild asparagus, berries, fruit that I have never seen anywhere in all the countries we lived in. How much we appreciated a wooden spoon, a chair, logs for the fire, a match, a bambus rod for fishing, everything was meaningful, magical, purposeful. Thank you.

Cassandra...awesome!

He’s very a humble human being yo tuve la fortuna de verlo en persona ♥️

I just discovered these videos. I love your art Sr. Tapia gracias por su arte y contribución ♥️🫶🏻♥️

Does anyone know the interviewer?

Great job Ed, this is a lovely story and baskets, you are truly blessed. Not all of us were so lucky and given back our trust land after our ancestors lost the wars and battles and were conquered. Very kind of the US citizens and US tax payers to allow this trust land, water, and forest to be extended to you Would love to whittle wood with you

Cassandra Wilson is simply amazing. Classy, pretty,... and that voice! Unique.

I am Filipino, speak Spanish, Filipino, English so entiendo su musica. Just the opening of this song told me that aqui esta otro hit. Muchsimas gracias, abrasos what a fantastic musical journey. God Bless to us all.

I attended the American FolkLife Festival in Washington DC in the late '70's and heard quite a bit of this type of music. Thanks for sharing 😊🌟
