Quotes:
1 - "the rich green hills break down. They fall to the valley below, and falling, change their nature. For they grow red and bare; they cannot hold the rain and the mist, and the streams are dry in the kloof...It is not kept, or guarded, or cared for, it no longer keeps men, guards men, cares for men. The Titihoya does not cry here any more" (Paton 2002: 7).
2 - "He told them too of the sickness of the land, and how the grass had disappeared, and of the dongas that ran from hill to valley, and valley to hill; how it was a land of old men and women, and mothers and children; how the maze grew barely to the height of a man; how the tribe was broken, and the house broken, and the man broken; how when they went away, many never came back, many never wrote any more" (Paton, 2002: 21-22).
3 - "...it was not long before the rain found the holes in the old rusted roof..." (Paton, 2002: 208).
4 - "The red hills stand desolate, and the earth has torn away like flesh. The lightning flashes over them, the clouds pour down upon them, the streams come to life, full of the red blood of the earth...the maize hardly reaches the height of a man. They are valleys of old men and old woman, of mothers and children. The men are away, the young men and the girls are away. The soil cannot keep them any more" (Paton, 2002: 7-8).
5 - "...everything in the valley was dead too; even children were dying" (Paton, 2002: 198).]]> 2021-02-17 09:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dantenortier1999/9s99ez9k9l27jaj5/wish/1210442240 dantenortier1999 https://padlet.com/dantenortier1999/9s99ez9k9l27jaj5/wish/1210443153 Redemption and Hope
Quotes:
1 - "It holds the rain and the mist, and they seep into the ground, feeding the streams in every kloof. It is well-tended, and not too many cattle feed upon it; not too many fires burn it, laying bare the soil" (Paton, 2002: 7).
2 - "I am the new agricultural demonstrator...But you must tell me why you are here. Who sent you to me?...Why the white man who brought me...Kumalo's face lighted up, and he sat there with his eyes shining. You are an angel from God, he said" (Paton, 2002: 213-214).
3 - "Kumalo prayed regularly for the restoration of Ndotsheni...Kuluse's child was recovered...The school went on with its work, and they were no doubt learning there about seeds and plants, and the right kind of grass for pastures, and the right kind of stuff to put into the soil, and the right kind of food to give to cattle" (Paton, 2002: 210).
4 - "The great valley of the Umzimkulu is still in darkness, but the light will come there. Ndotsheni is still in darkness, but the light will come there also" (Paton, 2002:236).
5 - "And that, said Kumalo earnestly to the demonstrator, is a small angel from God" (Paton, 2002: 217).

Quotes:
1 - "He went to Johannesburg, and as you said - when people go to Johannesburg they do not come back. They do not even write any more...They go to Johannesburg, and there they are lost, and no one hears of them at all" (Paton, 2002: 11).
2 - "All roads lead to Johannesburg. If you are white or if you are black they lead to Johannesburg. If the crops fail, there is work in Johannesburg. If there are taxes to be paid, there is work in Johannesburg. If the farm is too small to be divided further, some must go to Johannesburg. If there is a child to be born that must be delivered in secret, it can be delivered in Johannesburg" (Paton, 2002: 48).
3 - "And Johannesburg is a great city, with so many streets they say that a man can spend his days going up one and down another, and never the same one twice" (Paton, 2002: 13).
4 - "And for all the prayers, the desire to hurt was stronger, so strong that he was tempted to lie, yielded and lied" (Paton, 2002: 181).
5 - "You have shamed us...A liquor seller, a prostitute, with a child and you do not know where it is. Your brother a priest. How could you do this to us" (Paton, 2002:29).

Quotes:
1 - "No second Johannesburg is needed upon the earth. One is enough" (Paton, 2002: 149).
2 - "You have shamed us...A liquor seller, a prostitute, with a child and you do not know where it is. Your brother a priest. How could you do this to us" (Paton, 2002: 29).
3 - "These high buildings, this wonderful City Hall, this beautiful Parktown with its beautiful houses, all this built with the gold from the mines. The wonderful hospital for Europeans...it is built with the gold from the mines...Go to our hospitals, he said, and see our people laying on the floors. They lie so close you cannot step over them. But it is they who dig the gold. For three shillings a day" (Paton, 2002:34).
