The quotations of
Jamaican American writer, poet
1889–1948
3 quotes, most often on Courage.
If we must die, O let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
