An Epic of Old Mali

By D. T. Niane

… man is in a hurry but time is tardy and everything has its season.

(Niane, Chappell, and Jones 2006, 6)

Man, under the influence of certain illusions, thinks he can alter the course which God has mapped out, but everything he does falls into a higher order which he barely understands.

(Niane, Chappell, and Jones 2006, 22)
