silvae: Mark Twain

Aber ich glaube, ich muss mich vor den anderen aus dem Staub machen, denn Tante Sally will mich adoptieren und zivilisieren, und das halte ich nicht aus. Das habe ich schon einmal erlebt, sind die letzten Sätze von Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn→ https://loomings-jay.blogspot.com/2025/11/mark-twain.html

Norman Mailer 1984 über Huck Finn in der →New York Times 

Was ist Größe anderes als der unzerstörbare Reichtum, den sie in der Erinnerung des Geistes hinterlässt, nachdem die Hoffnung verflogen und die Leidenschaften verglüht sind? Es ist immer die Hoffnung der Demokratie, dass unser Reichtum wieder zur Verfügung steht, und der bleibende Schatz von „Huckleberry Finn“ besteht darin, dass er uns die Freiheit gibt, über Demokratie und ihre erhabene, erschreckende Prämisse nachzudenken: Lasst die Leidenschaften und Begierden, Träume und Macken, Ideale und Gier, Hoffnungen und üblen Verfehlungen aller Männer und Frauen ihren Lauf nehmen, und die Welt wird dennoch besser sein, denn in der Summe sind wir und unser Tun mehr gut als böse. Mark Twain, die Verkörperung dieses demokratischen Menschen, verstand diese Prämisse in jedem seiner Sätze, und wie er sie auf die Probe stellte, wie er sie verdrehte und reizte und testete, bis wir wieder ganz schwach wurden vor Liebe zu dieser Idee.

The Balloon Farm | Hurry Up Sundown | (Laurie) 1968

The Balloon Farm's 1968 single "Farmer Brown" contrasts sharply with their earlier hit "A Question Of Temperature." While "Farmer Brown" is viewed as a dated novelty, the B-side "Hurry Up Sundown" is noted for its appeal and is recommended for repeated listening. Following this release, members regrouped as The Huck Finn.

“That’s just the way: a person does a low-down thing, and then he don’t want to take no consequences of it. Thinks as long as he can hide it, it ain’t no disgrace.”
― Mark Twain

If you are thinking of buying someone a book for the holiday season, please consider visiting an independent bookseller, buying from a university press or an online bookseller that is not #Amazon.

Also, you might want to purchase #PercivalEverett's JAMES, a brilliant revision of #MarkTwain's #HuckFinn. JAMES also just won the National Book Award.

@Teri_Kanefield We need to plant the idea in the #HardcoreExtremists heads that #SpeakerJeffries will offer them the opportunity to blame their utter failure to lead on Democrats.

Saw someone quote one of my favorite quotes from literature, specifically Huck Finn: “All right, then, I'll go to hell.”
Huck decides to risk hellfire itself in order to save Jim, he stands up to God (or his perception of God) and says, "No, you are asking me to do something wrong and I defy you." It is powerful stuff.

And then Tom Sawyer shows up at the end, and Tom treats it all as a game, and he PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH. And now that I think about it, isn't he such a great representation of the "just asking questions" crowd, who want to debate the existence of minorities as if it were a school exercise?

Everything’s so awful reg’lar a body can’t stand it…

If you’ll try this thing just a while longer you’ll come to like it

Like it! Yes—the way I’d like a hot stove if I was to set on it long enough. No, Tom, I won’t be rich, & I won’t live in them cussed smothery houses. I like the woods & the river & hogsheads & I’ll stick to ’em, too

— Mark Twain, Adventures of Tom Sawyer
