Slaughter Swamp

Famous quotes containing the words slaughter and/or swamp:

    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)

    I see less difference between a city and a swamp than formerly.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
