Nada the Lily. H. Rider Haggard

this land of Natal. When we entered, its people could not be numbered. When we left, here and there a man might be found in a hole in the earth—that was all. Men, women, and children, we wiped them out; the land was clean of them. Next came the turn of U’Faku, chief of the Amapondos. Ah! where is U’Faku now?

      And so it went on and on, till even the Zulus were weary of war and the sharpest assegais grew blunt.
