28.02.2008 - Interpretation of dali48
Not only was Catholicism re-instituted by force - but Germanization was imposed by force as well... (Jaroslav Seifert, Nobel L. 1984)
Our language became our most important means of expressing our national identity...
Poetry was one of the first of our literary genres to be brought to life. It became a vital factor in our cultural and political awakening...
It is as though poetry, lyrics were predestined not only to speak to people very closely, extremely intimately, but also to be our deepest and safest refuge - where we seek succor in adversities we sometimes dare not even name...
We have styled our society in a way that neither corresponds to the perception of the emotions nor to reason. - The result is a disintegration of the emotions and a silence of reason... (C. F. Weizsäcker)
It is a state of mind in which our will strives to become lord over everything it can, - instead of allowing us to find joy in things without bringing them under our sway...
If whole societies become infected by these vices, they may indeed achieve astonishing things - but they become increasingly incapable of solving the most elementary problems of everyday existence...
What is needed is a "revolution of the mind - and the heart"... (J. Seifert)
