    As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.

    I who have cursed
    The drunken officer of British rule, how choose
    Between this Africa and the English tongue I love?

    How can I face such slaughter and be cool?
    How can I turn from Africa and live?
