  • bilby commented on the word bund

    "Precious top-soil, the life of the upland farmers, had been washed down into the gullies or flowed uselessly down the roadways. I saw peasants collecting it in baskets and calabashes and carrying it on their heads back up the steep paths to their fields where they were repairing bunds broken out by the rains."

    - 'Resetlement, Ethiopia, 1985', Germaine Greer in The Madwoman's Underclothes.
