Elegiac Stanzas Quotes

“A deep distress hath humanised my soul.”
― William Wordsworth

“Africa is
My parentage
.... this place
Is not my home
I abide
In a land designed
.... by men
Who hate my 'tone

May the blood of my antecedents
Bless my seed
.... and may it be
Their defense
And may that blood
Forever protect
.... their truth
And their innocence

“As We Sail By

We float
Through purple velvet skies
Out where, black holes are born
And the Milky-Way dies

We fly
Through purple hazed skies
Out where, nebulas fade
And an apricot sun spies

We coast
Through purple blue skies
Out where, the platinum moon sits and
Supernovas explode as we sail by
