Conversation Between Pogue and Comrade Gwydion

  1. Comrade Gwydion
    Ello
    Might I join thine workerist group?
  2. Comrade Gwydion
    "
    He was a tough-looking youth of twenty-five or six, with reddish-yellow hair
    and powerful shoulders. His peaked leather cap was pulled fiercely over one eye.
    He was standing in profile to me, his chin on his breast, gazing with a puzzled
    frown at a map which one of the officers had open on the table. Something in his
    face deeply moved me. It was the face of a man who would commit murder and throw
    away his life for a friend--the kind efface you would expect in an Anarchist,
    though as likely as not he was a Communist. There were both candour and ferocity
    in it; also the pathetic reverence that illiterate people have for their
    supposed superiors. Obviously he could not make head or tail of the map;
    obviously he regarded map-reading as a stupendous intellectual feat. I hardly
    know why, but I have seldom seen anyone--any man, I mean--to whom I have taken
    such an immediate liking."

  5. Comrade Gwydion
    Well, it is in the book... wait, let me get the literal text.
    "It was the face of a man who would commit murder and throw
    away his life for a friend--the kind efface you would expect in an Anarchist,
    though as likely as not he was a Communist"
  6. Pogue

    "...... but he could just as well be a communist." Orwell, Homage to catalonia
