Famous quotes containing the words volcanic and/or tongue:
“Pity the planet, all joy gone
from this sweet volcanic cone;”

“I who have cursed
The drunken officer of British rule, how choose
Between this Africa and the English tongue I love?
Betray them both, or give back what they give?
How can I face such slaughter and be cool?
How can I turn from Africa and live?”
—Derek Walcott (b. 1930)
