is stained by yours.”

“I lie here thinking of you: the stain of love is upon the world!”
"Love Song"
Al Que Quiere! (1917)

2015, Remarks to the People of Africa (July 2015)
Context: Every one of us is equal. Every one of us has worth. Every one of us matters. And when we respect the freedom of others -- no matter the color of their skin, or how they pray or who they are or who they love -- we are all more free. Your dignity depends on my dignity, and my dignity depends on yours. Imagine if everyone had that spirit in their hearts. Imagine if governments operated that way. Just imagine what the world could look like -- the future that we could bequeath these young people.
“There is blood in my veins
That has run clear of the stain
Contracted in so many loins.”
"Here"
Tares (1961)
“My idea of a fine wine was one that merely stained your teeth without stripping the enamel.”
