What
is
life
?
Tell
me
,
O
white
men
,
who
are
wise
,
who
know
the
secrets
of
the
world
,
and
of
the
world
of
stars
,
and
the
world
that
lies
above
and
around
the
stars
;
who
flash
your
words
from
afar
without
a
voice
;
tell
me
,
white
men
,
the
secret
of
our
life
--
whither
it
goes
and
whence
it
comes
!
"
You
can
not
answer
me
;
you
know
not
.
Listen
,
I
will
answer
.
Out
of
the
dark
we
came
,
into
the
dark
we
go
.
Like
a
storm-driven
bird
at
night
we
fly
out
of
the
Nowhere
;
for
a
moment
our
wings
are
seen
in
the
light
of
the
fire
,
and
,
lo
!
we
are
gone
again
into
the
Nowhere
.
Life
is
nothing
.
Life
is
all
.
It
is
the
Hand
with
which
we
hold
off
Death
.
It
is
the
glow-worm
that
shines
in
the
night-time
and
is
black
in
the
morning
;
it
is
the
white
breath
of
the
oxen
in
winter
;
it
is
the
little
shadow
that
runs
across
the
grass
and
loses
itself
at
sunset
.
"
"
You
are
a
strange
man
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
when
he
had
ceased
.
Umbopa
laughed
.
"
It
seems
to
me
that
we
are
much
alike
,
Incubu
.
Perhaps
I
seek
a
brother
over
the
mountains
.
"
I
looked
at
him
suspiciously
.
"
What
dost
thou
mean
?
"
I
asked
;
"
what
dost
thou
know
of
those
mountains
?
"
"
A
little
;
a
very
little
.
There
is
a
strange
land
yonder
,
a
land
of
witchcraft
and
beautiful
things
;
a
land
of
brave
people
,
and
of
trees
,
and
streams
,
and
snowy
peaks
,
and
of
a
great
white
road
.
I
have
heard
of
it
.
But
what
is
the
good
of
talking
?
It
grows
dark
.
Those
who
live
to
see
will
see
.
"
Again
I
looked
at
him
doubtfully
.
The
man
knew
too
much
.
"
You
need
not
fear
me
,
Macumazahn
,
"
he
said
,
interpreting
my
look
.
"
I
dig
no
holes
for
you
to
fall
in
.
I
make
no
plots
.
If
ever
we
cross
those
mountains
behind
the
sun
I
will
tell
what
I
know
.
But
Death
sits
upon
them
.
Be
wise
and
turn
back
.
Go
and
hunt
elephants
,
my
masters
.
I
have
spoken
.
"
And
without
another
word
he
lifted
his
spear
in
salutation
,
and
returned
towards
the
camp
,
where
shortly
afterwards
we
found
him
cleaning
a
gun
like
any
other
Kafir
.
