Conrad: Conflict and Solidarities
A CONFERENCE OF THE JOSEPH CONRAD SOCIETY OF AMERICA AT FAIRLEIGH
DICKINSON UNIVERSITY–– VANCOUVER, AUGUST 13-16, 2014
“Yes! Very funny this terrible thing is. A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns––nicht wahr?. . . No! I tell you! The way is to the destructive element submit yourself, and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water make the deep, deep sea keep you up. So if you ask me––how to be?. . . That was the way. To follow the dream, and again to follow the dream––and so––ewig––usque ad finem. . .”
––The “Stein Passage” excerpt from Lord Jim
