“This obsessing heart which does not correspond
To my language, nor to my customs,
And on which encroach, like a clinging-root,
Borrowed feelings and the customs
Of Europe, feel this suffering
And this despair—equal to no other�
Of ever taming with words from France
This heart which came to me from Sénegal.
- Haitian poet”
