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)

    Here is a pen and here is a pencil,
    Here’s a typewriter, here’s a stencil,
    Here is a list of today’s appointments,
    And all the flies in all the ointments,
    The daily woes that a man endures—
    Take them, George, they’re yours!
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    His farm was “grounds,” and not a farm at all;
    His house among the local sheds and shanties
    Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
