        <description><![CDATA[During this chapter, and Kumalo's "retreat" to Ezenzeleni with Msimangu, we see Kumalo's response to the great grief that he feels on his discovery of his son and what has happened to his family, and how the tribe has been destroyed. Yet, at the same time, we also see Kumalo's great resilience and re-invigoration to go back and face the situation that he is planted in.
At the beginning of the chapter, Kumalo is literally deadened with grief...]]></description>

"...there is only one thing that has power completely, and that is love.  Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.  I see only one hope for our country, and that is when white men and black men, desiring neither power nor money, but desiring only the good of their country, come together to work for it".

Absalom never denies that he killed Arthur Jarvis, but his defense is that he did not mean to kill him.  He maintains to the very end,

"I killed this man, but I did not mean to kill him, only I was afraid".

Absalom had gone with his cousin and another man to the Jarvis home with the intention of stealing.  They had not expected Jarvis to be home, but when the...]]></description>
