This is a lost London Forum talk by Michael Walker on four French artists of the Right: Alphonse de Châteaubriant, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, and Robert Brasillach. If anyone has details about when this talk was given, please post a comment below. “Homage to Robert Brassilach” Michael Walker Comme le temps passe Robert Brasillach My homage is for the way you lived to die That I a coward cannot emulate You knew and wrote Reason turns malevolent after childhood disperses And slumps into mature consideration You could not have lived with yourself after failing. So the leaden sentence was a gift Better to die as you died In the fluency and grace of certainty and light Like poor Pucelle Than grapple with compromise and penance To win years in retirement and shame Dying defiant Sin pañuelo The Castilian way. Happiness a bagatelle To a fascist Dying well essential Dying well redeems The quintessence Not delaying Nor complaining Nor dreading Unbitter witness The theatrical end Many shrink and strive to safety Delay complain and dread And run away and hide And sacrifice their pride for a Doubtful grace Not you a thief or cheat Perhaps a busy undertaker Coffins lined in neatly ordered rows “The Bubonic East has Broken out” –the facts Every issue packed and bracketed Childhood spoilt and spilled Venom packed away in lofts or cellars Then taken out and filmed Nothing like that within you So they held their tryst with you Many shrink and strive to safety They show their heads Where they fear no censure The dumb speak no treason The illiterate pen no error They called you traitor and acolyte to murder But no betrayal was within you Those Who mattered to you Will wait and wait Carlists on horseback Ragamuffin Spain The islands of childhood You walk to them Punctual formal and correct In the fields of your Great Faith Le paradis terrestre Martyr’s etiquette at the shore Running and returning Your last breath faithful Hear the sea roar Comme le temps passe Robert Brasillach
