Slaughter Pen Farm

Famous quotes containing the words slaughter, pen and/or farm:

    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)

    Then my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise,
    My person degrade & my temper chastise;
    And the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame;
    And my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    A farm is a good thing, when it begins and ends with itself, and does not need a salary, or a shop, to eke it out.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
