About This Quote
Life is story, until I realized life as sacred. This quote is taken from the words of the man who passed away on February 22, 2017. He was a man who lived a short life but left behind his legacy that many will remember for generations to come. His name was Ayalew Tefferi.
He was an Ethiopian poet who went by several names including one of the most famous ones, “The Lion of Africa”. His writing style was that of an old world writer, full of poetry and long descriptive sentences. He used poetry because he saw it as a way to reach people directly without having to go through the strict meaning of prose.
He believed that poetry had more power than prose so he would use words that were not only meaningful but also powerful.
