Description
Excerpt from The Barbary Coast
There comes another feeling, a doubt Whether in all this gay scene there is more of gladness or of sadness. Poor old Africa! I love her for her very woes: and if I sometimes drop into an undertone, and, in drawing with a free hand these African pictures, give the dark back ground, with the lighter figures ou the canvas, it is to turn, if I may, the eyes of our more favored countrymen to a distant shore, that they may look with tenderness and with pity on a land of so much beauty and so much sorrow.
