Personally i dont want my possible future children grow up in a country where every one is just so rude and so obsessed with being politically correct and also, a country where blair's labelled "asbos" and young gangs rule the street! Back to roots i say... |

Let Kazantzakis tell his story:
"In England you need to remain calm, speechless, patient, you need to give time to the English rhythm - weather, sea, endless green, social life, old universities, tennis, golf, ports, factories, socialising and talking to people - to regulate your blood.
You need to shift values. Put patience and greet ahead of rush and lazy thought and to experience that words are made of heavy and valuable metal. An oath and words are made from the same substance.
You need to learn to love and respect the small daily events. To respect only the events and to understand that only by accepting them fully and following them faithfully you can overtake them. Only on these events can human freedom take root.
You need to dream and at the same time hold steadfast onto the reality. On the peak of reality let your dream wave on ...
Truly a difficult rhythm, a manly rhythm but perfectly fitting to a proud soul. To love with passion and to hate with passion and your face to remain unchanged and the mouth shut. To win and to keep quite. To lose and to tighten your fists, starting again. To throw yourself totally to the dangerous game of life and to have strong passions, yet to learn that it is utterly unacceptable to boast of them and that the higher virtue of man is the ability to hold back.
England is a temple of Artemis and you are constantly being whipped so that you learn to bite your lips and to start again".
From Kazantzakis "Traveling" series - ENGLAND
Again, my translation sucks, its not easy to translate Kazantzakis but probably the book can be found in English. |
