The World of Yesterday
Page 46
The sunlight was full and strong. As I walked home, I suddenly saw my own shadow going ahead of me, just as I had seen the shadow of the last war behind this one. That shadow had never left me all this time, it lay over my mind day and night. Perhaps its dark outline also lies over the pages of this book. But in the last resort, every shadow is also the child of light, and only those who have known the light and the dark, have seen war and peace, rise and fall, have truly lived their lives.
NOTES
1 This weekly periodical became simply the New Statesman in 1964.
2 Vaterländische Front, a fascist party founded by Dollfuss, Kurt Schuschnigg’s predecessor as Chancellor of Austria, in his attempt to keep the country independent.
3 Ludwig Anzengruber, 1839-1889, dramatist and novelist.
4 Referring to the massacre in Paris in 1572 of the French Protestant Huguenots by Catholics. It began on St Bartholomew’s Eve, 23rd August, but in fact went on for weeks and spread from Paris to other parts of the country.
5 Rassenschande, racial disgrace, meant sexual relations between a Jew and an Aryan.
6 Frequently misquoted as “peace in our time”. But Zweig, who quotes it in English in his original text, got it right.
7 Maria or Marie Bonaparte, a great-great-niece of the Emperor Napoleon, 1881-1962, married the second son of the king of Greece. She was interested in psychology, consulted Freud and became friendly with him. It was to her that he put his famous question, “What does a woman want?”
8 This city in Eastern Prussia, once the most northerly in Germany, had with the surrounding territory been separated from the rest of the country by the Treaty of Versailles, and was to be administered for the time being by the League of Nations. This area was one of the first territories to be annexed by Hitler.
9 As mentioned earlier, Zweig keeps his private life strictly out of his memoirs. When he left Salzburg for the last time, however, his first wife Friderike went on living in the house on top of the mountain, with her daughters by a previous marriage. She and Zweig corresponded, and she sent him the books he asked for when he was in Britain and for his voyage to the American continent. However, during these years they grew apart, and Zweig was becoming emotionally close to his secretary in London, Lotte Altmann. He and Friderike divorced—it seems to have been a fairly amicable arrangement for the most part—and he married Lotte, who died with him in their suicide pact in 1942.
