| | Exasperation with Masai obduracy has been balanced by the admiration these nomads have so often won from people of other races. | | | Many Europeans also envied the Masai their apparent freedom, their nomadic way of life uncluttered by possessions, their sexual freedom: an existence regulated by the rhythms of the seasons. | | | And especially they envied, perhaps unconsciously, the comradeship of the age-set- that band of brothers circumcised at the same time - which was unbreakable and knew no bounds. |
