Additional quotes by Claude McKay

I know the dark delight of being strange,
The penalty of difference in the crowd,
The loneliness of wisdom among fools

I have forgotten much, but still remember
The poinsettia's red, blood-red in warm December.

And, hungry for the old, familiar ways,
I turned aside and bowed my head and wept.

Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back! - Claude McKay
