Nadine Gordimer Quotes
Every Morning, When People Are Getting Up In The Tent, The Babies Are Crying, People Are Pushing Each Other At The Taps Outside And Some Children Are Already Pulling The Crusts Of Porridge Off The Pots We Ate From Last Night, My First-born Brother And I Clean Our Shoes. Our Grandmother Makes Us Sit On Our Mats With Our Legs Straight Out So She Can Look Carefully At Our Shoes To Make Sure We Have Done It Properly. No Other Children In The Tent Have Real School Shoes. When We Three Look At Them It's As If We Are In A Real House Again, With No War, No Away.
