Quote #7 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Technology
“Roar! and roar! machines of the mines;
As far away as Germiston
The noise you make must vex my soul
And echo in my ears
Like distant bells of booming brass.
They speak to me of splendid homes,
Of men made rich because of me,
Made richer by my poverty;
A bloodless used-up ox am I!”
