“A white face goes with a white mind. Occasionally a black face goes with a white mind. Very seldom a white face will have a black mind.”

“Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;”
