“The rage was stewing in his body like bitter juice. He had brooded all night over what had happened. They had killed a white man, killed a white man, the bloody sods, the sneaking cowardly hounds. Oh, the swine, the swine, how they ought to be made to suffer for it. Why did we make those cursed kid-glove laws? Why did we take everything lying down? Just suppose this had happened in a German colony before the War! The good old Germans. They knew how to treat the niggers. Reprisals! Rhinoceros hide whips! Raid their villages, kill their cattle, burn their crops, decimate them, blow them from the guns.”

George Orwell, “Burmese Days”, 1935.
