Quote #10
The outline of the mountain was slowly smoothed and leveled out by the hand of distance. (5.5.29)
In her final farewell to her farm, the Baroness looks back at the Ngong Hills from far away, another train station down the line from Nairobi. From there, the mountains look smooth, as though there were nothing important there. The physical distance between her and the farm is like the time difference between when she writes and what she writes about.
