Jacques Roumain: "Pengorbanan untuk Legba selesai; Master of the Cross...

"Pengorbanan untuk Legba selesai; Master of the Crossroads telah mengambil rute misterius loas kembali ke Guinea asalnya. Sementara itu, pesta berlanjut. Para petani melupakan kesengsaraan mereka: tarian dan alkohol membuat mereka mati rasa, membawa hati nurani mereka yang terdampar di daerah-daerah yang tidak nyata dan teduh di mana kegilaan biadab para dewa Afrika menunggu."

--- Jacques Roumain

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The sacrifice to Legba was completed; the Master of the Crossroads had taken the loas' mysterious routes back to his native Guinea. Meanwhile, the feast continued. The peasants were forgetting their misery: dance and alcohol numbed them, carrying away their shipwrecked conscience in the unreal and shady regions where the savage madness of the African gods lay waiting.
