"Good Hope " for this good land yet, If we would but dare and do; If we would but stand with ready hand To grasp ere the blessings go. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we would but stay life-streams, Which will past us flow while we, too slow, Stand rapt on the bank in dreams. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we would but cease to hope That the rain will drop and bring a crop While we idly sit and mope. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we work, e'en while we wait For the sun and rain to ripen grain We have sown, then left to fate. "Good Hope " for this good land yet, If we use each heav'n-sent gift As a means to an end, and do not spend Our best without care and thrift. "Good Hope " for this good land yet, If we live and struggle still To a better life, through toil and strife, With a stout heart and strong will. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If our faith be active trust, And not blind belief, which, at each grief, Still mourns that what must be must. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we would but trust in God, And the Christ who came and took our name To bless, not to turn the sod. William Rodger Thomson. THE POET. The poet walks entranced o'er earth, And, dreaming-, touches Nature's strings, And calls grand harmonies to birth; Men listen wond'ring as he sings. He goeth oft to wild retreats, Where Nature broods in solitude; There, in the Muses' haunted seats, Enrapt he stands--as if he view'd Strange visions on the face of heav'n. His eye rolls o'er the boundless blue, And then, as if his sight had giv'n Wings to his soul, he soareth through Th' empyrean vault, and upward flies To scan deep mysteries, unseen By common souls, whose earth-bound eyes Are blinded with the dazzling sheen Of glorious...

D. 1497-1910 The compiler of a book of verse bearing on South African history will perhaps be said to have a some what limited field of operations; and the field, on examination, is really more limited than it looks. Taking the landing of Van Riebeek at the Cape in 16 52 as the starting-point1 of European expansion in the southern portion of the continent, the history of South Africa', from the European point of View, for a century and a half thereafter is the history of the fortunes and expansion of the Dutch settlement at the Cape, which at the end of that period includes but a fraction of the area of the Cape Province as it is today. Not until so recently as the middle of the nineteenth century or thereby, with the foundation of the Overberg republics and the colonization of Natal, does South Africa' approximate to the territorial limits which the present generation associates with it. To-day we sometimes include loosely in the term not merely the area embraced by the Union but the great territory of Rhodesia as well; in other words, the Whole of British South Africa.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Song of the London Man, Song of South Africa, and Other Poems I am aware that this gentleman does not desire any thanks, and even disclaims all merit for the kind act with the jesting remark that It is not every day he would be likely to have such an opportunity of feeling amused at the idea that he had suddenly adopted a new r616 by becoming, as it were, a Promoter of the Arts and a Patron of the Muses! In this case, however, I fear 'the Muses' are not too worthily represented. I am sadly conscious of the limitations of my own particular Muse.

Download or read book When They Came for Me written by John R. Schlapobersky and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apartheid and its resistance come to life in this memoir making it a vital historical document of its time and for our own. In 1969, while a student in South Africa, John Schlapobersky was arrested for opposing apartheid and tortured, detained and eventually deported. Interrogated through sleep deprivation, he later wrote secretly in solitary confinement about the struggle for survival. Those writings inform this exquisitely written book in which the author reflects on the singing of the condemned prisoners, the poetry, songs and texts that saw him through his ordeal, and its impact. This sense of hope through which he transformed his life guides his continuing work as a psychotherapist and his focus on the rehabilitation of others. “[T]hetale of an ordinary young man swept one day from his life into hell, testimony to the wickedness a political system let loose in its agents and, above all, an intimate account of how a man became a healer.”—Jonny Steinberg, Oxford University From the introduction: I was supposed to be a man by the time I turned 21, by anyone’s reckoning. By the apartheid regime’s reckoning, I was also old enough to be tortured. Looking back, I can recognize the boy I was. The eldest of my grandchildren is now approaching this age, and I would never want to see her or the others – or indeed anyone else – having to face any such ordeal. At the time my home was in Johannesburg, only some thirty miles from Pretoria, where I was thrown into a world that few would believe existed, populated by creatures from the darkest places, creatures of the night, some in uniform. I was there for fifty-five days, and never went home again.
