A good one by our own Tade:
"World literature acknowledges an immortal in the transition of Chinua
Achebe whose quiet dignity brought unprecedented attention to African
literature written in English, translated into more modern world
languages than any other African writer before him and studied in every
notable institution of learning around the world. As Aretino said upon
the death of Michelangelo, the world has many kings but only one
Michelangelo. I acknowledge that the world has many potentates but only
one Achebe. He was the tree that made a forest, the one voice that
travelled beyond the seven seas."
Enjoy
