dbp:text
  • Their hills are a freak outcrop of giant boulders piled one on top of the other to make an unfinished doll's house for the Ingessana. They themselves have pasted their particular cells out of a grey camouflage plaster on to this substructure, like a law-abiding colony of weaverbirds or wasps. But the Ingessana are superior to these social animals in that they have a sense of both humour and affection. When they see one they smile charmingly, one is not quite sure from which motive. Their skin is black and they are happy, but besides that they have few characteristics of the negro, for their features are regular and small like the mixture of Amhara and Galla that one meets in the Shoan countryside. They have their own tribal uniform which they do not abandon for the ways of Britain, Greece or Syria. Their long skirt or sarong is rolled tight over their buttocks and their hair is plaited back to fit the turn of their heads. Round their necks and plump, well-formed armes they wear thick plain bracelets and rings of bronze and a braided leather necklace with a sharp bronze bar pointing behind them and another long trailing necklace hanging in ingenious reverse down their backs. Their hair sometimes concludes in a Nelsonian queue, cased in leather and bronze. They carry two spears and balance on their easy shoulders, blade towards the sky, a magnificent curved and formal sword concave to the front of them. Their women are as free and sleek as they. They live round waterholes like dewponds in the rocks, ringed by the same grey clay as they sentryboxes they sleep in. (en)
