Amerikali roman ve kisa oyku yazari William Timothy ‘Tim’ O'Brien’in dogum gunu (1 Ekim 1946)

"Serttiler.

“Olebilecek adamlarin butun duygusal yukunu tasirlardi. Elem, dehset, sevgi, ozlem — soyut seylerdi bunlar, fakat soyut seylerin de somut bir agirligi vardi. Utanc verici anilar tasirlardi. Zor zaptedilen korkakliklarinin ortak sirrini tasirlardi, kacma veya donup kalma ya da gizlenme icgudusu ve pek cok acidan yuklerin en agiriydi bu, cunku hicbir zaman sirtindan indiremezdin, mukemmel bir denge ve durus gerektirirdi. Onurlarini tasirlardi. Bir askerin en buyuk utancini tasirlardi, yuz kizarikligini. Oldurur ve olurlerdi. Cunku bunu yapmasalar utanirlardi. Savasta bu yuzden vardilardi zaten, olumlu hicbir sey yoktu, ne dus, ne gorkem, ne de onur; onursuzlugun yuz kizarikligi olmasin yeter ki. Utanctan olmemek icin olurlerdi."



“They were tough.

They carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die. Grief, terror, love, longing— these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight. They carried shameful memories. They carried the common secret of cowardice barely restrained, the instinct to run or freeze or hide, and in many respects this was the heaviest burden of all, for it could never be put down, it required perfect balance and perfect posture. They carried their reputations. They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment.“

Amerikali yazar Elwyn Brooks White’in olum yildonumu (1 Ekim 1985)

Elwyn Brooks White'in insanliga karsi umudunu yitirmis olan Mr. Nadeau'ya yazdigi mektup:


Sevgili Mr. Nadeau:

Namuslu bir adam, sefkatli bir kadin oldugu surece, bu duygular bulasici sekilde yayilir ve sahne issizlasmaz. Umut kotu gunlerde bize kalan tek seydir. Duzene ve azme bir katki olarak pazar sabahi kalkmali ve saati kurmaliyim.

Denizcilerin hava durumu hakkinda bir deyimi vardir: hava harika bir blofcu derler. Sanirim ayni sey bizim insan toplulugumuz icin de dogru, gidisat karanlik gorunebilir, sonra bulutlarin aralanmaya basladigi gorulur ve her sey, bazen oldukca aniden, degisir. Insan irkinin, bu gezegende tuhaf bir karmasaya yol actigi oldukca aciktir. Ama belki de bir insan olarak, sartlar uygun oldugunda uzun bir suredir derinlerde filizlenmeyi bekleyen iyilik tohumlarini barindirmaktayizdir. Insanin meraki, onun insafsizligi, onun yaraticiligi, onun marifeti, onun derin bir sikintinin icine dogru cekilmesine neden olmustur. Biz sadece bu ayni ozelliklerin kendi yolunu penceleri ile acmasinda ona olanak saglayacagina dair umut edebiliriz.

Sapkana saril. Umuduna saril. Ve saati kur cunku yarin baska bir gundur her zaman.

Ictenlikle,

E. B. White



Dear Mr. Nadeau:

As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness.

Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society — things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man’s curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out.

Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.

Sincerely,

E. B. White

"...'Peki ama bu sizin ilginizi cekmiyor mu?' dedi Bayan Honey, 'yani bes yasindaki kucuk bir cocugun, Dickens ve Hemingway'in buyukler icin yazdigi uzun romanlari okumasi? Bu sizi cok heyecanlandirmiyor mu?'

'Hayir,' dedi anne. 'Okumaktan benzi solmus kizlardan hoslanmam. Bir kiz cocugu kendisini cekici kilma konusunda kafa yormali ki ileride iyi bir koca bulabilsin. Gorunum, kitaplardan daha onemlidir, Bayan Hunky...' "



"...'But does it not intrigue you,' Miss Honey said, 'that a little five-year-old child is reading long adult novels by Dickens and Hemingway? Doesn't that make you jump up and down with excitement?'

'Not particularly,' the mother said. 'I'm not in favour of blue-stocking girls. A girl should think about making herself look attractive so she can get a good husband later on. Looks is more important than books, Miss Hunky...' "
