“For out of black
soul's night have stirred
dawn's cold gleam,
morning's singing bird.”
George Woodcock
(1912–1995) Canadian writer of political biography and history, an anarchist thinker, an essayist and literary critic
"Black Flag" in Collected Poems (1983)
Context: For out of black
soul's night have stirred
dawn's cold gleam,
morning's singing bird. Let black day die,
let black flag fall,
let raven call,
let new day dawn
of black reborn.
