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)

His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”
