I bear it nobly as I live my part.

Additional quotes by Claude McKay

The shivering birds beneath the eaves
Have sheltered for the night.

If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

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

Deep in the secret chambers of my heart I muse my life-long hate, and without flinch I bear it nobly as I live my part. - Claude McKay
