Langston Hughes' "Dreams"

Today’s poem plays nicely against Hughes’ more famous meditation on “dreams” (the deferred kind, in “Harlem”). Rather than emphasizing the danger of a dream under pressure, here he stresses the importance of a dream to men and women under pressure. Happy reading. This is a public episode.
