Marlon James Quotes

People Think Blood Red, But Blood Don't Got No Colour. Not When Blood Wash The Floor She Lying On As She Scream For That Son Of A Bitch To Come, The Lone Baby Of 1785. Not When The Baby Wash In Crimson And Squealing Like It Just Depart Heaven To Come To Hell, Another Place Of Red. Not When The Midwife Know That The Mother Shed Too Much Blood, And She Who Don't Reach Fourteen Birthday Yet Speak Curse 'pon The Chile And The Papa, And Then She Drop Down Dead Like Old Horse. Not When Blood Spurt From The Skin, On Spring From The Axe, The Cat-o'-nine, The Whip, The Cane And The Blackjack And Every Day In Slave Life Is A Day That Colour Red. It Soon Come To Pass When Red No Different From White Or Blue Or Black Or Nothing. Two Black Legs Spread Wide And Mother Mouth Screaming. A Black Baby Wiggling In Blood On The Floor With Skin Darker Than Midnight But The Greenest Eyes Anybody Ever Done Seen. I Goin' Call Her Lilith. You Can Call Her What They Call Her.
