Context: The most striking of all the impressions I have formed since I left London a month ago is of the strength of this African national consciousness. In different places it may take different forms but it is happening everywhere. The wind of change is blowing through this continent.

Is but a ruddy berry dropped down through the purple air,
And from the magic tree of life the fruit falls everywhere.
