In the poem by, Langston Hughes, “Dream Variations” Hughes applies the technique of imagery heavily. None of the lines of the excerpt are “extra” or do not serve a purpose to the theme of the poem. The overall theme of the poem has to do with the race issues of the times because of his mentions of “the white day” and “Night comes on gently- dark like me”.
