(3.63) | 9 | Rose Macaulay's powerfully felt pacifist novel of World War I records the suffering and passion of Alix Sandomir's rebellion against the foolishness of her fellow noncombatants. The year is 1915, and Alix moves from her cousins' home in the country to the suburban villa "Violette" with its impervious, engrossed household. There a gallery of preoccupied characters, drawn with all Rose Macaulay's wit and observation, distract Alix from the frustrations and impotence of her position. But when she learns the truth about the death of her younger brother on the front line she becomes increasingly aware of the ineffective role of women in war. Angered by her own ineffectualness Alix finally begins her battle for peace.… (mehr) |

| Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. 'Let the foul scene proceed:
There's laughter in the wings:
'Tis sawdust that they bleed,
But a box Death brings.
Gigantic dins uprise!
Even the gods must feel
A smarting of the eyes
As these fumes upsweal.
Strange, such a Piece is free,
While we Spectators sit
Aghast at its agony,
Yet absorbed in it.
Dark is the outer air,
Cold the night draughts blow,
Mutely we stare, and stare
At the frenzied show.
Yet heaven has its quiet shroud
Of deep and starry blue—
We cry "An end!" we are bowed
By the dread "'Tis true!"
While the Shape who hoofs applause
Behind our deafened ear
Hoots—angel-wise—"the Cause!"
And affrights even fear.'
Walter de la Mare, The Marionettes.  'War is just the killing of things and the smashing of things. And when it is all over, then literature and civilisation will have to begin all over again. They will have to begin lower down and against a heavier load.... The Wild Asses of the Devil are loose, and there is no restraining them. What is the good, Wilkins, of pretending that the Wild Asses are the instruments of Providence, kicking better than we know? It is all evil.'
Reginald Bliss, Boon. 'There is work for all who find themselves outside the battle.'
Romain Rolland, Above the Battle. | |
