Had sailed this archipelago.
They who were used to flutes of bone
Translated talk of wind on stone. [...]

Where shall I turn, divided to the vein?
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? [...]
