When as an American emissary I met him in September 1977 in his office in the Menelik Palace, I was struck at how much darker he was than his portrait on the wall behind him. The fact that he was more Negroid than the average Ethiopian highlander gave him an inferiority complex.

I grow old ... I grow old ...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

 

Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

 

If you wish,
I shall grow irreproachably tender:
not a man, but a cloud in trousers!

 

Vladimir Mayakovsky

 

You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.

 

Henrik Ibsen

 

Jack: [pointing a pistol at Bob's trousers] I'm going to blow your brains out.

 

Jack Benny
