"It was the time to hear things and talk. These sitters had been
tongueless, earless, eyeless conveniences all day long. Mules and other brutes
had occupied their skins. But now, the sun and the bossman were gone, so the
skins felt powerful and human. They became lords of sounds and lesser things.
They passed nations through their mouths. They sat in judgment" (Hurston 1,2).
