'Letters from the past' at Sunday Postcard Art
“I have only one passion, that of light, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and which has a right to happiness. My fiery protest is only the cry of my soul. So dare someone to bring me to the Court of Assizes and let the investigation take place in broad daylight!
I'm waiting."
Emile Zola
(Excerpt from 'I accuse', an open letter to the President of the Republic Félix Faure, concerning the trial of the Dreyfus affair in 1898.)

<<Je n'ai qu'une passion, celle de la lumière, au nom de l'humanité qui a tant souffert et qui a droit au bonheur. Ma protestation enflammée n'est que le cri de mon âme. Que l'on ose donc me traduire en Cours d'Assises et que l'enquête ait lieu au grand jour!
J'attends.>>

Bold and beautiful as always, his portrait is so clear it is amazing. Now I will have to study Zola and find out his place in history, I have heard of him but I don't recall the history. I love the study of history.

RépondreSupprimerSim - there is nothing to add to the quote from Zola! And your conversion to the topic is simply terrific again.
RépondreSupprimer(And finally I got HOW the new comment function works at Blogger ...) Have a great week & best wishes
I forgot: I have devoured (almost all of) Zola's books. Really one of the greats of world literature. :-)
RépondreSupprimerA beautiful and meaningful creation. Vee xx
RépondreSupprimerImpact to the max here, Sim, to the point where I feel like I should follow Katrin's lead and read his books. Like Deann, I'm not up on the history, so I must go get the background. As always, thank you for your powerful works! xo
