More Quotes from Claude Mckay:
And where life lay asleep broods darkly death.Claude Mckay
Something in me is lost, forever lost,
Some vital thing has gone out of my heart,
And I must walk the way of life a ghost
Among the sons of earth, a thing apart;
For I was born, far from my native clime,
Under the white man's menace, out of time.
Claude Mckay

Let's both forgive, forget, for both were blind,
And life is of a day, and time is fleet.
Claude Mckay
For life is greater than the thousand wars
Men wage for it in their insatiate lust,
And will remain like the eternal stars,
When all that shines to-day is drift and dust
But I am bound with you in your mean graves,
O black men, simple slaves of ruthless slaves.
Claude Mckay
