Quote by Peter Meihana

“Since 1840 native policy had swung from ‘the privilege of protection’ to ‘the privilege of free trade’. Proponents of either position based their arguments on article three of the Treaty of Waitangi, or at least their interpretation of it. Yet time and time again, no matter the policy, Māori were invariably dispossessed of their lands.”

“Between us, we had over seventy years of marriage under our belts when we met each other in 2021. One would assume we would know everything there was to know about commitment, communication, and the covenant of a marriage relationship. Yet in all those years with our first spouses, we’d never experienced the intimacy and power of praying together. We’d never held hands to pray out loud for our marriage or each other. We weren’t even sure why or how to do that for ourselves until the darkness of our respective grief drove us down to our knees.”

“Despite the fact that she was probably nearer forty than thirty, her radiance and beauty outshone that of the prettiest wahine. Statuesque, her golden skin was unblemished, and beneath the colourful cape that hung from her graceful shoulders her body was, in Nicholas’s opinion, perfection personified.”

“High cheek bones gave Queen Obadia's face a rare and exotic beauty, but her most riveting feature was her almond eyes. Large and hypnotic, they roamed over the faces of the visitors seated before her, settling for one magical instant on Nicholas’s face. In that split-second he thought he saw something register in the queen’s eyes. Then it was gone as she turned her attention to others.”
