“I do not have easy days at home now and I drift between fear and helplessness in sunny rooms where it is unspeakably cold. Strange shudders of transformation, bodily experienced to the point of vulnerability, visions of mysteries until the certainty of having died, ecstasies to the point of stony petrifaction, and a continuation of dreaming sad dreams.” HomeDreamEasyRoomsVisionMysteryStrangeColdDiedTransformationCertaintyVulnerabilityEcstasySunnyHelplessnessContinuationEasy Days Author:Georg Trakl
“About the presence of death and dying I don't remember the society in the 1950s being so skittish as it has since become. People still died at home, among relatives and friends, often in the care of a family physician.

“Most Britons still lived and died without encountering anyone whose skin colour was different from their own. Slaves, in short, did not threaten, at least as far as the British at home were concerned. Bestowing freedom upon them seemed therefore purely an act of humanity and will, an achievement that would be to Great Britain's economic detriment, perhaps, but would have few other domestic consequences.” StillsDifferentHomeWould BeHumanityEconomicAchievementConsequenceConcernedSkinsDiedSlaveBritishColourBritainGreat BritainBritish HistoryBritons Author:Linda Colley
