lasu paralēli sava skolotāja vēstules un āmrikāņu skolotāja Dž. T. Gattō The Underground History of American Education.
abi tie veči ir džēniji. lūk, ko par ģēnijiem nodaļā Mannerist Writing saka mans tipōskolotājs grāfs Nōrdzejs:
GENIUS
When asked how I could attract so much promising talent to my program at the Academy in The Hague, I answered: ‘I do not attract talent, I make talent because I am a teacher.’ In a reckless moment I might even say that I could make genius too, but that is not as easy. A genius is not a graduate. To become genius the student should gain absolute independence. A genius acknowledges no classics. He never quotes others. He is his own classic. If genius refers to classic sources, a closer look reveals a mannerist twist. In his emblem William the Silent puts Ovid’s metamorphosis of Alcyone upside down. Waves and wind are not calmed by the cynical mercy of gods; it is the small bird keeping its balance amidst chaos: Saevīs tranquillus in undīs. Genius does not even touch the trend. It devises its own place and its own time, making a new universe. The genius is the hero of Mannerism.
Meanwhile genius dwells in normal man, as vulnerable, shy and feeble as anybody else; and, at that, not always good company.
Saevīs tranquillus in undīs ~ Rāms vētras bangās: Orānijas Vilhelma (Viļuma Klusā) mottō. |
