Kalemie - Creation

Creation

Albertville was created on January 3, 1892 by a captain of the then Belgian Colonial Army, Jacques de Dismund, who named it after prince Albert, the heir of the Kingdom of Belgium at that time.

In 1971, as a result of Zairianization, Albertville changed its name to Kalemie.

Famous quotes containing the word creation:

    Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights. The shadows of poverty and meanness gather around us, “and lo! creation widens to our view.”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded in the first man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
