white-voltaire

March 7, 2025

People always get very upset with my not being able to say what we ought to do. I answer using a quote from Voltaire that says ‘What! A ferocious animal has sucked the blood of my family: I tell you to get rid of that beast and you ask me, what shall we put in its place!”’

Thought:

“The land lay steeped in peace of silent dreams;
There was no sound amid the sacred boughs.
Nor any mournful music in her streams:
Only I saw the shadow on her brows,
Only I knew her for the yearly slain,
And wept, and weep until she come again.”

Frederic Manning | “Korè”
