Derek Walcott Zitate

All of the Antilles, every island, is an effort of memory: every mind, every racial biography culminating in amnesia and fog. Pieces of sunlight through the fog and sudden rainbows, arcs-en-ciel. That is the effort, the labour of the Antillean imagination, rebuilding its gods from bamboo frames, phrase by phrase.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Alle Antillen, jede Insel, ist eine Anstrengung des Gedächtnisses: Jeder Geist, jede Rassenbiographie, die in Amnesie und Nebel mündet. Sonnenstrahlen durch den Nebel und plötzliche Regenbogen, Bögen-En-Ciel. Das ist die Anstrengung, die Arbeit der antillianischen Phantasie, den Wiederaufbau ihrer Götter aus Bambus, Phrase für Phrase.
