The Story of a Siberian Exile (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Story of a Siberian Exile
Here is an expression in use in Poland which surpasses all that human eloquence has ever em ployed to give intensity to despair; it consists of the words 'we never meet again? And thus it is that any political exile, when about to depart for Siberia, takes leave of his family and of his friends; we nete'r meet again! For the only way in which an exile could find himself once more among those whom he loves would be for him to meet them in the same place of torment. The conviction is deep that they who are once transported to those regions of pain can quit them no more; that Siberia never relinquishes her prey. For nearly a century she has torn from Poland her most devoted women, her most generous sons. Back to those realms of snow and of blood fly the thoughts of every Pole who inquires into the past fortunes of his B.
