simonetta<p>⬆️1️⃣1️⃣<br>Possiamo vedere vetrine sfavillanti; e lo sguardo rapito delle donne; donne truccate; donne ben vestite; donne con labbra e unghie rosse. Sono schiave che cercano di schiavizzare. Se potessimo liberarci dalla schiavitù, libereremmo anche gli uomini dalla tirannia. Gli Hitler sono generati dagli schiavi.<br>⬇️1️⃣3️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>ogni giorno <br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a><br>«Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid» Aug.1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️🔟<br>Siamo sottomesse, certo. Siamo però tutte, tutti prigionieri stasera—gli uomini inglesi nei loro aerei, le donne inglesi nei loro letti. Ma se lui si ferma a pensare potrebbe essere ucciso; e anche noi. Quindi pensiamo per lui. Cerchiamo di fare affiorare l'Hitlerismo inconscio che ci opprime. È il desiderio di aggressione; il desiderio di dominare e schiavizzare. Perfino nell'oscurità possiamo vederlo chiaramente.<br>⬇️1️⃣2️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>ogni giorno <br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a> 1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️9️⃣<br>"Hitler!" gridano all'unisono gli altoparlanti. Chi è Hitler? Cos'è? Aggressività, tirannia, bramosia di potere, rispondono. Distruggete tutto questo e sarete liberi.<br>Il rombo degli aerei sopra la testa è ora come la sega sul ramo di un albero. Gira e rigira, segando un ramo proprio sopra la casa. Un altro rimbombo si fa strada nel cervello. È la voce di Lady Astor nel Times di oggi—“Donne capaci sono sottomesse all’Hitlerismo inconscio presente nel cuore degli uomini”.<br>⬇️1️⃣1️⃣<br>con V. <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a> 1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️8️⃣<br>Non è vero che siamo liberi. Siamo entrambi prigionieri stanotte—lui rinchiuso nella sua macchina con un'arma a portata di mano; noi sdraiate al buio con una maschera antigas a portata di mano. Se fossimo liberi, dovremmo essere all'aperto, a ballare, a teatro o seduti vicino alla finestra a chiacchierare. Cosa ci impedisce di farlo?<br>⬇️🔟<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>ogni giorno<br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a><br>«Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid» Aug.1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️7️⃣<br>La corrente scorre veloce e furiosa. Straripa in parole dagli altoparlanti e dai politici. Ogni giorno ci dicono che siamo un popolo libero, che combatte per difendere la libertà. Quella è la corrente che ha trascinato il giovane aviatore in cielo e lo fa volteggiare tra le nuvole. Quaggiù, con un tetto sopra la testa e una maschera antigas sottomano, è nostro compito bucare i palloni gonfiati e scoprire i semi di verità.<br>⬇️9️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>ogni giorno <br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a> 1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️6️⃣<br>Non stiamo accentuando la nostra incapacità perché la nostra capacità ci espone forse ad insulti o magari al disprezzo? “Non cesserò mai di combattere con la mente”, scrisse Blake. Combattere con la mente significa pensare contro corrente, non in suo favore.<br>⬇️8️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>ogni giorno <br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a><br>«Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid» Aug.1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️5️⃣<br>Un pensiero, questo, che spegne il pensiero e incoraggia l'irresponsabilità. Perché non nascondere la testa sotto il cuscino, tapparsi le orecchie e cessare la futile attività di creare idee? Non ci sono solo i tavoli dei militari e delle conferenze. Non stiamo forse lasciando il giovane inglese senza un'arma che potrebbe essergli utile, rinunciando al pensiero privato, al pensiero scaturito attorno a un tavolo da tè, perché sembra inutile?<br>⬇️7️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>con V. <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a> 1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️4️⃣<br>Ma perché le idee raggiungano l’obiettivo, dobbiamo essere in grado di spararle. Dobbiamo metterle in pratica. E così il calabrone in cielo me ne richiama alla mente un altro. Questa mattina ce n'era uno che ronzava sul Times—una donna che diceva "Le donne non hanno voce in politica". Non c'è nessuna donna nel Gabinetto; né che abbia incarichi di responsabilità. Tutti i creatori di idee, e che siano in grado di attuarle, sono uomini.<br>⬇️6️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a> 1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️3️⃣<br>Ma come può combattere per la libertà senza armi da fuoco? Fabbricando armi, vestiti o cibo. Ma c'è un altro modo di combattere per la libertà senza armi; possiamo combattere con la mente. Possiamo 'fabbricare' idee che aiutino il giovane inglese che sta combattendo in cielo a sconfiggere il nemico.<br>⬇️5️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>ogni giorno<br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a><br>«Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid» Aug.1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️2️⃣<br>Lassù in cielo stanno combattendo giovani inglesi e giovani tedeschi. Sono uomini i difensori, sono uomini gli attaccanti. Alla donna inglese non vengono date armi, né per combattere il nemico, né per difendersi. Lei stanotte deve restare disarmata. Eppure, se crede che il combattimento in corso sia una lotta tra gli inglesi per la libertà e i tedeschi per distruggere la libertà, deve lottare, per quanto può, dalla parte degli inglesi.<br>⬇️4️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>con Virginia <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a> 1940</p>
simonetta<p>⬆️1️⃣<br>Unless we can think peace into existence we—not this one body in this one bed but millions of bodies yet to be born—will lie in the same darkness and hear the same death rattle overhead.Let us think what we can do to create the only efficient air-raid shelter while the guns on the hill go pop pop pop and the searchlights finger the clouds and now and then,sometimes close at hand, sometimes far away, a bomb drops.<br>⬇️3️⃣<br><a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/AvventodiPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AvventodiPace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Advent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advent</span></a><br>V.<a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Woolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolf</span></a>, Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,1940</p>

Here they are again. It is a queer experience, lying in the dark and listening to the zoom of a hornet which may at any moment sting you to death. It is a sound that interrupts cool and consecutive thinking about peace.Yet it is a sound—far more than prayers and anthems—that should compel one to think about peace.<br>⬇️2️⃣</p>

Tombe la pluie - Theespookje<p>I remember reading a Room on One's Own from Virginia Woolf in 2017 for the first time (and in English!!) and feeling absolutely bewildered. I was frantically taking notes and everything - I had never done that about a book, even for classes.
