“The university gave me a new, elagant classroom to teach in. Only one thing, they said. You can’t bring your dog. It’s in my contract, I said. (I had made sure of that.)”
“Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, not stand too silent when the setting sun makes the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all, if he gives to much.”
“Bir adam vardı. Suyu arıyordu. Toprağı üç kulaç kazdı. Suyu bulamadı. On kulaç, on beş kulaç kazdı. Gene suyu bulamadı. Sonra yerin derinliklerinde kara kaya tabakalarına rastladı. Yeise düştü, gücü sona erdi ve suyu bulmaktan ümidi kesti. Fakat bir ses ona: Daha derinlere in, daha derinlere! dedi. Daha derinlere indi ve suyu buldu.”
