You praise the firm restraint with which they write –
More quotes by Roy Campbell
Translations (like wives) are seldom strictly faithful if they are in the least attractive.
The frost stings sweetly with a burning kiss
As intimate as love, as cold as death.
Of Tin Gods you may oft have heard or read. But this one was entirely made of lead.
Our spirits leaped, hosannas of destruction,
Like desert lilies forked with tongues of fire.
South Africa, renowned both far and wide
For politics and little else beside.
