“The Power,” that sign is vital, living, strong:
“The Glory”: rays of brightness seem to shine
And scintillate around us, sweet and long.
“Forever and forever!” round and round
The finger sweeps, and who shall tell us then
Expression for the prayer we have not found
--from "A Prayer in Signs", a celebration of the visual poetics of ASL and a protest against those who tried to marginalize it, by Alice Cornelia Jennings, 1851-1940
