"Black Elk thus explained the name he gave me, Flaming Rainbow. The Sioux language has no word for poet, therefore he called me a word sender."
"He is a word sender. This world is like a garden. Over this garden go his words like rain, and where they fall they leave it a little greener. And when his words have passed, the memory of them shall stand long in the west like a flaming Rainbow."
–BLACK ELK
