Watch: Maya Angelou reciting “On the Pulse of Morning” at Clinton’s first inauguration

Sadly for humanity, Maya Angelou died in her North Carolina home at 86. Above she is reciting what is likely her most famous poem. Below, a tweet from just four days ago that is beautiful in its simplicity and lyricism.

Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
