Star Wars + Poetry, pt. 1

Poem is “Encounter,” written and translated by Czesław Miłosz, full text under cut along with ref pics

Encounter

We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.

A red wing rose in the darkness.

And suddenly a hare ran across the road.

One of us pointed to it with his hand.

That was long ago. Today, neither of them is alive,

Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture

O my love, where are they, where are they going

The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.

I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

Wilno, 1936

The Wilno school massacre was a school shooting that occurred on 6 May 1925 at the Joachim Lelewel High School in Wilno, Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania). During the final exams, at about 11 a.m., at least two eighth-grade students attacked the board of examiners with revolvers and hand grenades, killing two students, one teacher, and themselves.

It was the first-ever school shooting that took place in Poland, preceding the Inowrocław school shooting in April 1936, the Kluczbork School of Economics shooting on December 16, 2001 and the Brześć Kujawski school shooting on May 27, 2019.

Various accounts of the incident were reported by the newspapers worldwide. That the students were in possession of military grade weapons suggests that they might have been in contact with the illegal Soviet agents deployed to Poland for sabotage and espionage operations.

The article in British daily Times stated that two students, identified as Stanisław Ławrynowicz and Janusz Obrąbalski, per Polish sources, were involved in the incident. According to the article, Ławrynowicz, who was a member of an organisation that supported Józef Piłsudski, began shooting at the teachers with a revolver after being told that he had failed exams, whereupon other students tried to disarm him. Ławrynowicz then dropped a hand grenade which killed him and several other students. Immediately after this Obrapalski, his friend, rose from his place and fired several shots at the teachers, wounding a professor and several students, before throwing a hand grenade, which failed to explode. He then committed suicide. Including the perpetrators themselves, five persons were killed, one of them a professor. Six students, as well as the headmaster, were wounded.

According to an article in the Neue Freie Presse three students carried out the attack, who were identified as Stanislaus Lawrynowicz, Janusz Obrembalski and Thaddäus Domanski, who was also named Ormanski in other reports. The newspaper reported that Lawrynowicz fired several shots at principal Bieganski, after most of the students had refused to take part at the exams, while at the same time Obrembalski began shooting at the teachers. Domanski then tried to throw a bomb into the group of teachers, which slipped out of his hands and exploded at his feet, killing himself, as well as the two other attackers, and a fourth student named Zagorski. Principal Bieganski was mortally wounded in the attack and Professor Jankowski, as well as seven other students were gravely injured.

purely for the sake of curiosity i've been trying to figure out whether my polish ancestors are regular polish or if they're kashubian because they all originate from villages in the kashubian part of pomerania and the region of canada they settled in the mid 1800s is a kashubian-heavy region like it's famous for that specifically. and i found a website that lists known kashubian surnames as well as the anglicized spelling of kashubs who colonized the wilno-renfrew region of ontario (alongside many irish catholics) and all the surnames are on that list as "extremely common kashubian name in poland and diaspora" so i feel like that's the proverbial nail in the coffin for that question. ultimately it really doesn't matter because they all became super anglicized and converted to protestantism like nobody on that side of my family speaks polish (or kashubian i guess) anymore they just have the surnames and they cook a lot of goulash and cabbage rolls. they're fully assimilated white hick canadians, its just interesting to know esp because that is my direct maternal line like my mother's mother's mother and so on are the kashubs.
