Africa Command

Famous quotes containing the words africa and/or command:

“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)

“‘Tis not in mortals to command success,
But we’ll do more, Sempronius, we’ll deserve it.”
