Léopold Sédar Senghor Quote

I must hide him down in my deepest veins
The Ancestor whose stormy skin
Streaks with lightning and thunder
He is the guardian animal I must hide
Lest I burst the dam of scandal.
He is my loyal blood demanding loyalty,
Protecting my naked pride against myself
And the arrogance of fortunate races...
