Answer:

A Black Man Talks of Reaping

I have sown beside all waters in my day

I planted deep, within my heart the fear

That wind or fowl would take the grain away.

I planted safe against this stark, lean year.

 

I scattered seed enough to plant the land

In rows from Canada to Mexico

But for my reaping only what the hand

Can hold at once is all that I can show.

 

Yet what I sowed and what the orchard yields

My brother' sons are gathering stalk and root,

Small wonder then my children glean in fields

They have not sown, and feed on bitter fruits  

*   *   *   *   *

Idolatry

You have been good to me, I give you this:

The arms of lovers empty as our own,

marble lips sustaining one long kiss

And the hard sound of hammers breaking stone.

 

For I will build a chapel in the place

Where our love died and I will journey there

To make a sign and kneel before your face

And set an old bell tolling on the air.

in the tell-tale heart do you think the narrator would have killed the old man if he did not have an "evil eye"​
victus00 [196]
No the narrator probably wouldn’t have killed the old man. when the narrator snuck into the old mans room late at night the old man was always asleep so the narrator couldn’t see his eye which don’t bother the narrator. The narrator even said he loved the old man it was just his “evil eye” bothering him
