“It was Marcus who had taught her an important lesson about absence. Because of him she had discovered that an absence, like a presence, occupies space - it has proportions, parameters and a sense of permanence. Because of him she had realized that an absence is actually more steadfast than a presence: you cannot take another's presence with you wherever you go, but another's absence will never leave you.” — Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu
