民主党代表選*1絡みのネタなのだが、小沢一郎の側近たちを「ソンタクズ」ということを知る。忖度ね。しかし、一瞬スーザン･ソンタグ*2を連想してしまった。謝らなければならない、勿論故スーザンおばさんにね。
目を洗う代わりに、パティ･スミスがスーザン１周忌に際して書いた美しい文*3を再掲する；
Susan SontagWriter, Activist, Friend
January 16, 1933 - December 28, 2004
"The only interesting answers are those that destroy the questions"
Susan Sontag died a year ago this morning. Her battles waged against cancer were fierce. Our mental warrior fell valiantly in her third battle.
We wished her a beautiful journey with this prayer: "Shatter as you go. May your new path be littered with the debris of many questions. May your answers cause the stars to shudder. Farewell."
Now a year later we wish the same, yet miss her deeply. Her sense of outrage, her courageous voice, her hearty appetite for life. In losing her we are forced to step up ourselves. To speak out. to praise and to rebuild. All beauty must be observed, all wretchedness must be lifted. Our arms are empty yet can be filled. The world she viewed calls to us. Man and nature cries for a champion. She has taught us how to be just that. She was our champion and we. in turn, must champion one another.
