The Book of Fathers


The Book of Fathers by Miklos Vamos

"Perhaps it was a mistake to remain silent about your parents and the others. Once you are better, you must certainly have a talk. You squeezed the past our of you but somehow took the present with it... You didn't notice how you wasted the days and years. Perhaps fate, heaven, God, or sod-all, will make sure your son fares better."

"The longer winter takes a-dying, the more spectacular will be the spring. On the last of the days of bitter cold, the land awakens to the morning chorus of the songbirds, and from the bottom of its heart yearns for the rebirth now approaching. There is not long to wait; soon we shall be welcoming the purest of colors, smells, tastes, forms and combinations, which may yet, in spite of everything, make the world a better place. At times like this it almost seems that nature is trespassing on the territory of art."
