"Morning After," (l. 1-6), from Shakespeare in Harlem (1942)
“
I was so sick last night I
Didn't hardly know my mind.
So sick last night I
Didn't know my mind.
I drunk some bad licker that
Almost made me blind.
— Langston Hughes
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I was so sick last night I
Didn't hardly know my mind.
So sick last night I
Didn't know my mind.
I drunk some bad licker that
Almost made me blind." in the context of ""Morning After," (l. 1-6), from Shakespeare in Harlem (1942)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
