Move over, Nostradamus. Classic writer Katherine Mansfield predicts the US Election from 100+ years ago.
The gathering storm .. we creep away into our caves of contemplation.
They are terrified of the future but it is never out of their sight. Dark, lean, impoverished it follows on their heels; it has a trick of leaping and suddenly rushing forward.
Strange ideas and theories escaping from their cages and running loose in society.
This is the moment of attention. There never has been such a curious hour.
We are the children of an ungracious and a greedy age. Repetition .. wakes in us a demon of restlessness.
I must say I never in my life felt so entangled in politics. But it's horrible. It's like jumping into a treacle pot.
