And they were a’ clad out in green;

On we lap and awa we rade
Till we cam to yon bonny ha’

And the floor was o’ the cristal a’.”

The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”

“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
