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)

    To give an accurate and exhaustive account of that period would need a far less brilliant pen than mine.
    Max Beerbohm (1872–1956)

    I farm a pasture where the boulders lie
    As touching as a basketful of eggs....
