Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

.The inner, emotional world of former slaves may neverbe as visible to us as that of divided white families, who left behind numerousletters and diaries.But unquestionably the legacy of slavery and war wouldcontinue to torment the emotional lives of freedpeople.20African Americans in the Reunited National FamilyIt is also not difficult to see the loyalty that animated the reunions of ex-slavefamilies.Regardless of their masters attempts to keep them apart duringslavery and regardless of the fact that emancipation policies may have workedinitially to separate kin, the former slaves searches for one another testify to 200 emancipationthe strength and endurance of their family ties.Their fidelity to family waslittle different from the loyalty that often kept divided white families fromsevering all connections over the course of the war.Yet it was very differentfrom the way in which some of those white families, and the novelists whoseworks they read, chose to imagine the loyalties of black people.During the war white Northern and Southern authors had disagreed overwhether kinship connections bound white and black people, whether realblood ties or the figurative bonds of the family black and white unitedblacks and whites.Confederates celebrated master-slave affection, whereasUnionists emphasized an antagonism between the two that often stemmedfrom real blood ties.But by the late 1860s and early 1870s, a distinguishingfeature of this collective fiction was the drift of writers from both sections to-ward similar conceptions of loyalty.As Southern writers joined their Northerncounterparts in depicting revived affections binding whites across sectionallines, Northerners came to embrace a more traditionally Southern conceptionof black loyalty.In these postwar tales of intersectional marriage and familyreunion, African Americans are subordinate and less troublesome to whites,often more loyal to whites than to members of their own race. I don t wantto be free, exclaimed a black woman in a story that recycled the motif of theloyal slave.The author of another tale assured readers that freedom hashad little effect on them. Former slaves are perfectly satisfied, this authorcontinued, and as faithful as the generations before them. Such loyalty towhites, even after emancipation, entitled black men and women to a placein the national family, these stories suggested, a place that was central butsubordinate to the marriage of North and South.21African Americans became the facilitators of sectional reunion in post-war fiction.For example, in John DeForest s Rum Creeters Is Women, aslave urges a suffering Confederate woman to seek help from the local Unionprovost marshal, who, it turns out, is her estranged fiancée.The slave s en-couragement is pivotal in forever reuniting this Union man and Confederatewoman.22 Similarly, in J.M.Smythe s Southern novel, Mary Clifton: A Taleof the Late War (1865), a slave man gives a Union man flowers to include inhis correspondence with a Confederate woman.In a Northern tale, a slaveprovides key evidence to help a Union soldier arrest two thieves an act thatendears him to a Confederate woman.And in another Northern story, a slaveinforms a Union soldier of a death in a Confederate woman s family, news thatcompels the soldier to visit the woman and rekindle an estranged romance.23In all of these stories, enslaved African Americans provide crucial advice or emancipation 201information, or perform a pivotal act, that makes possible a romance andeventual marriage between a Union man and a Confederate woman.At other times slaves simply provide loyal companionship that helps whitessurvive the war and remain alive and well so they may be reunited withloved ones when it is over.Jane G.Austin, a native of Massachusetts, offeredthis scenario in Dora Darling: The Daughter of the Regiment (1865)
