Chants d'ombre suivi de Hosties noires Quotes

“For who else would teach rhythm to the world that has died of machines and cannons? For who else should ejaculate the cry of joy, that arouses the dead and the wise in a new dawn? Say, who else could return the memory of life to man with a torn hope?… They call us men of death. But we are the men of the dance whose feet only gain power when they beat the hard soil”
― Léopold Sédar Senghor, Chants d'ombre suivi de Hosties noires
