She woke up in time to see this sun
sending up spies ahead of him to
mark out the road through the dark.
He peeped up over the door-sill of the world and made a little foolishness with red. But pretty soon, he laid all that
aside, and went about his business
dressed all in white.
-- Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God
(1937)
A thin needle of sunshine
came probing in
between the drawn curtains.
