| THE GUSIKS: A FAMILY SAGA “Gone now are those little towns where the shoemaker was a poet, The watchmaker a philosopher, the barber a troubadour Gone now are those little towns where the wind joined Biblical songs with Polish tunes and Slavic rue Where old Jews in orchards in the shade cherry trees Lamented for the holy walls of Jerusalem. Gone now are those little towns, though the poetic mists, The moons, winds, ponds, and stars above them Have recorded in the blood of centuries above the tragic tales, The histories of the two saddest nations on earth.” (From “ELEGY FOR THE JEWISH VILLAGES” by the Polish Jewish poet Antoni Slonimski) |
