Pity For Poor Africans

I own I am shocked at the purchase of slaves, And fear those who buy them and sell them are knaves; What I hear of their hardships, their tortures, and groans Is almost enough to draw pity from stones. I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, For how could we do without sugar and rum? Especially sugar, so needful we see; What, give up our desserts, our coffee, and tea? Besides, if we do, the French, Dutch, and Danes, Will heartily thank us, no doubt, for our pains: If we do not buy the poor creatures, they will: And tortures and groans will be multiplied still. If foreigners likewise would give up the trade, Much more in behalf of your wish might be said; But, while they got riches by purchasing blacks, Pray tell me why we may not also go snacks? Your scruples and arguments bring to my mind A story so pat, you may think it is coined, On purpose to answer you, out of my mint; But I can assure you I saw it in print. A youngster at school, more sedate than the rest, Had once his integrity put to the test; His comrades had plotted an orchard to rob, And asked him to go and assist in the job. He was shocked, sir, like you, and answered -- 'Oh, no What! rob our good neighbour? I pray you don't go! Besides the man's poor, his orchard's his bread; Then think of his children, for they must be fed.' 'You speak very fine, and you look very grave, But apples we want, and apples we'll have; If you will go with us, you shall have a share, If not, you shall have neither apple nor pear.'

They spoke, and Tom pondered --'I see they will go: Poor man! what a pity to injure him so! Poor man! I would save him his fruit if I could, But staying behind will do him no good. 'If the matter depended alone upon me, His apples might hang till they dropped from the tree; But since they will take them, I think I'll go too: He will lose none by me, though I get a few.' His scruples thus silenced, Tom felt more at ease, And went with his comrades the apples to seize; He blamed and protested, but joined in the plan; He shared in the plunder, but pitied the man.

No Contribution/Subscription fees. Papers will be accepted and published free of cost and only on basis of quality and each contributor will get a free complimentary copy from publisher.

Dear All, We are glad to inform you that we are going to edit jointly a book of research papers on topic The Centre Cannot

Hold: Disintegration in Twentieth Century Anglo-American Literature . Authentic, scholarly and unpublished
research papers are invited from scholars/faculty/researchers/writers/professors from all over the world for this volume. Proposed Publisher: The volume will be published with an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) by a renowned publisher. Thematic Focus of the Volume: . With two world wars fought within a span of thirty-one years, and at least five major international conflicts ravaging the humanity, twentieth century, according to Isaiah Berlin, William Golding, and Ren Dumont, has had been the most violent period in entire human history. Naill Ferguson regards the century also as the most destructive one for the empires. The consequent human annihilations, sufferings, hatred, suspicion, paranoia, and a perception of the ending of imperialism came to be reflected in the literatures written during the 20th century, especially in England and the United States of America, both of which were drawn into the two global belligerences and together lost approximately

two million people military and civilians. In The Second Coming (1919), W. B. Yeats justly described the European situation in the late 1910s as: Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world (l. 34). English and American writings of the twentieth century irrespective of their genres demonstrate an awareness of the turmoil and disintegration, the world was facing in the wake of and as aftermath of the destructive belligerences. In this line, we are thinking to edit present anthology of critical essays. Disintegration, despair, disillusionment, and paranoia became defining features of what literary historians and critics like Andrew Sanders, Edward Albert, and M.H.Abrams identified as modern literature that is, literature of the 20th century: the Anglo-American section comprising of such diverse genres and subgenres as war poems by Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Joyce Kilmer, Archibald MacLeish, Keith Douglas, and Alun Lewis; T.S.Eliot, W.B.Yeats, and Ezra Pounds poetry of disintegration, novels by D.H.Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Aldous Huxley, Ernest Hemingway, and other writers of the Lost Generation; and plays by Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Arthur Miller, and Tennessee Williams and so on, other than literary criticism and prose writings.

The Centre Cannot Hold: Disintegration in the Twentieth Century Anglo-American Literature proposes
to collect essays on canonical and non-canonical 20th century British and American writings of different genres to show how disillusionment, despair, and disintegration became the defining features of modernist writings.
