English Folk Rock

Famous quotes containing the words english, folk and/or rock:

    So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    An’ when the earth’s as cauld’s the mune
    An’ a’ its folk are lang syne deid,
    On coontless stars the Babe maun cry
    An’ the Crucified maun bleed.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)

    In Little Rock the people bear
    Babes, and comb and part their hair
    And watch the want ads, put repair
    To roof and latch.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
