Dans la série des ouvrages qui secouent le lecteur, ma lecture de #VeraBrittain s'achève enfin. Un sacré pavé et une vision tellement différente de la guerre.
Quand les auteurs réussissent à ce point à transmettre leur ressenti au lecteur un siècle après, c'est le signe d'une grande qualité !
"I thought that spring must last forevermore;
For I was young and loved, and it was May."
—Vera Brittain, May Morning

« THE TROOP-TRAIN (France, 1917) As we came down from Amiens, And they went up the line, They waves their careless hands to us, And cheered the Red Cross sign. And often I have wondered since, Repicturing that train, How many of those laughing souls Came down the line again. »
Vera Brittain, « The Troop-Train (France, 1917) », in Verses of a V.A.D., Londres : E. Macdonald, 1918.
