Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
To holler down the lions in this air.”

The secret of the soil grows through the eye,
And blood jumps in the sun;
Above the waste allotments the dawn halts.”

“The sacrifice to Legba was completed; the Master of the Crossroads had taken the loas’ mysterious routes back to his native Guinea.
Meanwhile, the feast continued. The peasants were forgetting their misery: dance and alcohol numbed them, carrying away their shipwrecked conscience in the unreal and shady regions where the savage madness of the African gods lay waiting.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
