Assia Djebar, Algerian White
“Death without End Nothing can stand in the way of glory, solitary and solar,
the virtues of a man or a people reduced, primarily by analysis,
to no more than a hollow vessel...but the shame that remains,
after a life of betrayal, or even a single act of betrayal,
is more certain and less likely to be injurious than glory... A people that is remembered only by periods of glory or men
of virtue, will always be in doubt about itself, reduced to being
an empty vessel. The crimes of which it is ashamed are what
make its true history, and for a man it is the same. JEAN GENET (Letters to Roger Blin on The Screens)”
Assia Djebar, Algerian White
“Dante compares this language—which is like yours, when you come back to me intangibly—to the “perfumed panther,” the mythical animal of medieval bestiaries. He adds, and I quote for all three of you: “Hearing the call of the panther, the other animals follow it wherever it goes, attracted by so much fragrant softness.”
