“In spite of the frightful pogroms which took place, first in Poland and then in unprecedented fashion in the Ukraine, and which cost the lives of thousands of Jews, the Jewish people considered the post-war period as a messianic era.

“Wisdom: The first error is that of the southern people, and it consists in holding that these eastern and western places are real places.

Part of the same error is to think that the Landlord is a real man.” PeopleThinkingMenGivingFirstsBelieveRealEndsErrorsSouthWesternSouthernQuartersSuperstitionsEasternJungleReal MenSwampsLandlord Author:C.
