“On me parle de progrès, de “réalisations”, de maladies guéries, de niveaux de vie élevés au-dessus d’eux-mêmes. Moi, je parle de sociétés vidées d’elles-mêmes, des cultures piétinées, d’institutions minées, de terres confisquées, de religions assassinées, de magnificences artistiques anéanties, d’extraordinaires possibilités supprimées. On me lance à la tête des faits, des statistiques, des kilométrages de routes, de canaux, de chemin de fer. Moi, je parle de milliers d’hommes sacrifiés au Congo-Océan. Je parle de ceux qui, à l’heure où j’écris, sont en train de creuser à la main le port d’Abidjan. Je parle de millions d’hommes arrachés à leurs dieux, à leur terre, à leurs habitudes, à leur vie, à la danse, à la sagesse. Je parle de millions d’hommes à qui on a inculqué savamment la peur, le complexe d’infériorité, le tremblement, l’agenouillement, le désespoir, le larbinisme.”

English :

“They tell me about progress, about “realisations”, cured illnesses, about a quality of life raised above itself.

I speak from societies emptied from themselves, trampled cultures, undermined institutions, confiscated lands, assassinated religions, shattered artistic wonders, extraordinary possibilities annihilated.

They hurl facts, statistics, road, canals, railroad mileages at me.

I speak from thousands of men sacrificed to the Congo-Ocean railway. I speak from those who, as I write, are digging by hand the port of Abidjan. I speak from millions of men torn away from their gods, their habits, their life, their dance, their wisdom.

I speak from millions of men who were taught fear, inferiority complex, quaking, kneeling, despair, how to serve & defer.”

spending time in the mountains, living in the little house near the stream, hiking a lot, breathing the fresh air, playing with mountain spirits, picking up ingredients for potions and having a good rest before the busy week
