Jeune Mariee. (Translation) .
On dit qu'elle mourut, -
Bien que je ne le sache pas,
On dit qu'elle mourut de douleur
Et aux bras noirs comme la terre de la Mort
Elle chercha le soulagement calme,
Et le repos de l'affligement de l'amour
Dans le sommeil sans amour.
-'Young Bride'. Langston Hughes. 'The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes', p.56. (Poems 1921-1930) .
occur quite often in Hughes' poems, which show vulnerable characters at the end of their tether. These poems are not maudlin or over-exaggerated. Hughes is showing the dark but true side of modern life here. His tone is restrained, not sensational.
