Meridel LeSueur Quote

From River Circular

The people are a river that never ends. The river is a part of the people, resurrected from its myriad deaths; a river that gleams and winds and falls erect through many dams, lost in deep gulleys, turns to dust or flood, rushes in spring freshet, emerges to the sea. The people are a story of long incessant coming alive from the earth, from the rivers, persistent and inevitable.

Out of us they steal their wealth.
They stole the great river.
But we return and bear the strength of the kernel,
Redeem the pollution, the bloody conflict, the immense theft
We will flow again with the river –
Let’s go River. O River let’s go together.
– Meridel LeSueur
