Jamaica Lost

Famous quotes containing the words jamaica and/or lost:

“So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

“The body and the soul know how to play
In that dark world where gods have lost their way.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
