Description: A speech by Baldwin at the Community Church in N.Y. Baldwin points out that his title is really a metaphor. The struggle to become human beings is not the sole province of the artist, it is universal. What is the importance of this effort? The speaker proposes that only the poets know the truth about us, while exploring the universality of pain.
