Looking back to those days of old, ere the gate shut behind me, I can see now that to children with a proper equipment of parents these things would have worn a different aspect. But to those whose nearest were aunts and uncles, a special attitude of mind may be allowed. They treated us, indeed, with kindness enough as to the needs of the flesh, but after that with indifference (an indifference, as I recognise, the result of a certain stupidity), and therewith the commonplace conviction that your child is merely animal. At a very early age I remember realising in a quite impersonal and kindly way the existence of that stupidity, and its tremendous influence in the world; while there grew up in me, as in the parallel case of Caliban upon Setebos, a vague sense of a ruling power, wilful and freakish, and prone to the practice of vagaries-"just choosing so: " as, for instance, the giving of authority over us to these hopeless and incapable creatures, when it might far more reasonably have been given to ourselves over them. These elders, our betters by a trick of chance, commanded no respect, but only a certain blend of envy-of their good luck-and pity-for their inability to make use of it. Indeed, it was one of the most hopeless features in their character (when we troubled ourselves to waste a thought on them: which wasn't often) that, having absolute licence to indulge in the pleasures of life, they could get no good of it.
Grahame, Kenneth
Kenneth Grahame (8/3/1859, Edimburgo, Escócia - 6/7/1932, Berkshire, Inglaterra) foi criado pela avó, depois que seu pai, arrasado com a morte da esposa, teve problemas com a bebida. Aluno no destaque na escola St. Edward`s , em Oxford, a falta de recuso impediu - o de ir a universidade. Empregou-se, então, no Banco da Inglaterra, onde ficou até se aposentar. Nas horas vagas, escrevia artigos para jornais e publicou três livros de ensaios. Em 1899, casou-se com Elspeth Thomson e tiveram um filho, Alistair, com muitos problemas de saúde. Todas as noites, Grahame lhe contava histórias sobre animais do rio, que com o tempo, ganharam novos personagens e se tornaram mais complexas . Publicadas em 1908, em pouco tempo tornou-se um best -seller. |
