“Beware, my body and my soul, beware above all of crossing your arms and assuming the sterile attitude of the spectator, for life is not a spectacle, a sea of griefs is not a proscenium, and a man who wails is not a dancing bear.”
― Aimé Césaire, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land
― Aimé Césaire, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land
“Écoutez le monde blanc
horriblement las de son effort immense
ses articulations rebelles craquer sous les étoiles dures
ses raideurs d'acier bleu transperçant la chair mystique
écoute ses victoires proditoires trompeter ses défaites
écoute aux alibis grandioses son piètre trébuchement
Pitié pour nos vainquers omniscients et naïfs !”
― Aimé Césaire, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal
horriblement las de son effort immense
ses articulations rebelles craquer sous les étoiles dures
ses raideurs d'acier bleu transperçant la chair mystique
écoute ses victoires proditoires trompeter ses défaites
écoute aux alibis grandioses son piètre trébuchement
Pitié pour nos vainquers omniscients et naïfs !”
― Aimé Césaire, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal
“ma chère penchons sur les filons géologiques
(my dear let us lean on geographical veins)”
― Aimé Césaire
(my dear let us lean on geographical veins)”
