Africa - From Gold Coast Customs

Edith Sitwell

And dreaming deep within her blood
Lay Africa like the dark in the wood;
For Africa is the unhistorical
Unremembering, unrhetorical
Undeveloped spirit involved
In the conditions of nature -- Man,
That black image of stone hath delved
On the threshold where history began.
