Space is fundamental in any form of communal life; space is fundamental in any exercise of power (Foucault 1984:252). The road goes regularly through groves of nutmeg and lofty kenari-tree, the latter of which serve as protection for the former. Banda [Besar] is one single mountain ridge for the whole length, stretching from East to West with sides sloping into the sea. The aforementioned plantations spread over each side of these mountains and to a marked height, yes, until almost the peaks. Our tour is completely via the mountains and mostly always within the shade of these lovely groves, yet you see scarcely a single kind of vegetation other than the nutmeg- and kanari-tree (Olivier 1979[1827]:100–101).
