“Mumaguta makuru tinoona zvishoma zvenyika, tinokukurwa muushoma hwedu. Mumataundi maduku nemisha hamuna vashoma; vanhu havana kuwanda zvakakwana. Unofanira kuona nyika ikoko, perforce. Murume wese ndiye kirasi; awa imwe neimwe ine dambudziko rayo idzva. Ukapfuura paimba yevaenzi panoperera musha unosiya zvaunofarira kuseri; nokuti haungasongani nomunhu anogona kuigovana. Tinoteerera kutaura kwakanaka, verenga mabhuku uye uanyore, kugadzirisa zvinhu zvose zvepasi. Mhomho dzemusha dzisinganzwisisi dzinopfuura dzisingachinji; manzwire ebanga riri muruoko hakuna kusiyana nehurukuro yedu yose: mwaka wakanaka newakaipa zvinoteverana sekare. Mhomho dzembeveve hadzina hanya nesu sezvakaita bhiza rekare richidongorera nepagedhi rine ngura repondo yomusha.. Vagadziri vemepu vekare vakanyora munzvimbo dzisina kuongororwa, ‘Idzi shumba.’ Mhiri kwemisha yevaredzi nevanoshandura nyika, saka zvakasiyana izvi kubva kwatiri, tinogona kunyora asi mutsara mumwe une chokwadi, ‘Hezvo zvipoko.’ (“Zvipoko zvemumusha”)"
