He remembered having said to his uncle (with a solemn dogmatism better befitting a much younger man): "Surely it is possible to love with the head as well as the heart." Mr. Delagardie had replied, somewhat drily: "No doubt; so long as you do not end by thinking with your entrails instead of your brain. ↗

Though he never actually joined it, he was close to some civilian elements of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which was the most Communist (and in the rather orthodox sense) of the Palestinian formations. I remember Edward once surprising me by saying, and apropos of nothing: 'Do you know something I have never done in my political career? I have never publicly criticized the Soviet Union. It’s not that I terribly sympathize with them or anything—it's just that the Soviets have never done anything to harm me, or us.' At the time I thought this a rather naïve statement, even perhaps a slightly contemptible one, but by then I had been in parts of the Middle East where it could come as a blessed relief to meet a consecrated Moscow-line atheist-dogmatist, if only for the comparatively rational humanism that he evinced amid so much religious barking and mania. It was only later to occur to me that Edward's pronounced dislike of George Orwell was something to which I ought to have paid more attention. ↗

Eski zamanları hatırlayın. Perilere layık Büyük Pasta'nın yapıldığı zamanları; sadece kuyruk ısırandan korkan ejderhaları, kötü kralları, topraklarınızda gezinen devleri, azalmaya başlayan şövalyeler dönemini. Ve siz elinizde eski ve üzerinde yazılar bulunan bir kılıçla ejderha avlamak zorunda kalırsanız.. Yaprakları ağaçtan daha iyi resmeden türden bir ressamsanız.. Yağmurlu, rüzgarlı ve gün ışığının da çekip gittiği bir gece, odanızın içinde açan bir sarmaşık yaprağının sesini duyarsanız.. Elinizi beyaz kabuğuna dayadığınız ağaç, bir gün, ''Uzaklara git. Rüzgar senin peşinde. Git ve asla dönme'' derse; Üstünüzde koca bir yorgunluk ve yoksunluk duygusuyla kendinize gelircesine etrafa bakıp, ''Niye yalnızız?'' diye sorarsınız; Küçük bir çocuk elinizi sessizce tutup ''Üzgünüm'' diyecektir. │ J.R.R. Tolkien - Masallar kitabı Altıkırkbeş Yayınları Arka Kapak Yazısı ↗
