Because I am stuck on Isak Dinesen and Martha Gellhorn this summer, I am going to post some photographs from a book called Isak Dinesen's Africa that I found in the library yesterday. I was prompted by litlove's post of a couple of days ago where she wrote of Dinesen's short story, "The Blank Page." I read Out of Africa a couple of months ago and was struck by Dinesen's description of the Kikuru and Masai people as well as the natural beauty of Africa. This was Dinesen's farm house in the Ngong Hills. Of it she writes: "To the great wanderers amongst my friends, the farm owed its charm, I believe, to the fact that it was stationary and remained the same whenever they came to it." A Masai warrior (leaning a bit, my fault, not the warriors). "Those young men have, to the utmost extent, that particular form of intelligence which we call chic;--daring, and wildly fantastical as they seem, they are still unswervingly true to their own nature, and to an immanent ideal." This is a photograph of young Kikurus getting ready for a dance. Dinesen writes of these young dancers: "The real performers, the indefatigable young dancers, brought the glory and luxury of the festivity with them, they were immune to foreign influence, and concentrated upon the sweetness and fire within themselves." An Elephant: "Here upon the roof of Africa, wandered the heavy, wise, majestic bearer of the ivory. He was deep in his own thoughts and wanted to be left to himself. But he was followed, and shot with poisoned arrows by the little dark Wanderobos, and with long, muzzle-loaded, silver-inlaid guns by the Arabs; he was trapped and thrown into pits all for the sake of his long smooth lightbrown tusks, that they sat and waited for at Zanzibar." Mount Kilimanjaro, where the famous snows are melting at an irrevocable rate. "I had time after time watched the progression across the plain of the Giraffe, in their queer, inimitable, vegetative gracefulness, as if it were not a herd of animals but a family of rare, long stemmed, speckled gigantic flowers slowly advancing." All of these excerpts are taken from Isak Dinesen's Africa: Images of the Wild Continent from the Writer's Life and Words, Introduction by Judith Thurman, Photographs by Yanns Arthus-Bertrnad, Peter Beard, Frank Connor, David C, Fritts, Douglas Kirkland, Galen Rowell and Gunter Ziesler. Published by Sierra Club Books, San Francisco.

Danish author Karen Blixen (who confusingly wrote under the nom-de-plume of Isak Dinesen) was the author of ‘Out of Africa’, which inspired the film of the same name. The film’s costume designer, Milena Canonero, was inspired by snapshots of Blixen in gauzy dresses and spirited jackets. For the movie she dressed Meryl Streep in the tea-dipped linens of the period. At home in Denmark, Blixen evolved a natural, unpretentious, and very international décor. This story begins in Arles, Provence, of all places. Several years ago I was in Arles, at the legendary Grand Hotel Nord-Pinus hotel in the center of town. It’s a chic and very insider hotel dating from the thirties, and now owned and maintained superbly by Ann Igue, a photography collector and connoisseur. The hotel has long been associated with Jean Cocteau, Lucien Clergue, Spanish bullfighters, as well as Picasso and Ernest Hemingway and their coteries. Karen Blixen photographed in Copenhagen, 1962, by Peter Beard. Karen Blixen in Nyack-on-Hudson, in 1959, with Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe, and Carson McCullers. The décor of the lobby and sitting room are very Camargue-meets-Provence—but it was the large-scale black and white photos on the walls that grabbed my attention. “I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The Equator runs across these highlands, a hundred miles to the North, and the farm lay at an altitude of over six thousand feet. In the day-time you felt that you had got high up, near the sun, but the early mornings and evenings were limpid and restful, and the nights ere cold.’’ Opening paragraph of ‘Out of Africa’ by Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) Looming above the leather club chairs and forged-iron tables was a collection of new works by Peter Beard, long associated with Africa.

Karen Blixen and her brother Thomas Dinesen in Africa, 1922. Two images in particular stopped me in my tracks. In all their glory on the white plaster walls were a profile and a three-quarter portrait of Karen Blixen, the great novelist and memoirist, who used the nom de plume, Isak Dinesen. The grace, elegant and nobility of her whole being were captured in Peter Beard’s sensitive and revealing works. Cut forward a few months: I am in Copenhagen and heading north, with a Danish friend, up the coast to Rungsted to visit the Karen Blixen Museet (museum). It is in her former residence.

Blixen was most famous for her novel, ‘Out of Africa’ and received international acclaim in her long life-time. She died in 1962. (It is said that she died of the lingering effects of syphilis, which she had contracted from her husband, Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke, in 1917. Insiders, however, suggest that her ill-health and suffering (which she never concealed) were in fact caused by metal poisoning from heavy doses of mercury prescribed in those days to treat the disease--or perhaps arsenic used in Africa. This aspect of her glamorous life is a counterpoint to the nobility and creativity of her life in Africa and in Denmark.) Karen Blixen in a ballgown, 1934, photo Reimert Kehlet.

From there, to the South-West, I saw the Ngong Hills. The noble wave of the mountain rose above the surrounding flat land, all air-blue. But it was so far away that the four peaks looked trifling, hardly distinguishable, and different from the way they looked from the farm. The outline of the mountain was slowly smooth and leveled out by the hand of distance.” Final words as Isak Dinesen returned to Denmark, after a life of drama and beauty, love and tragedy, in Africa. ‘Out of Africa’ was originally published by Random House, New York, in 1937. It is available in countless editions. The residence with its accompanying gardens and meadows, are now part of a preserve, where visitors can wander in tranquility with views of the sea. The interiors of the residence are always filled with seasonal flowers from the cutting garden hidden among the trees. The rooms are maintained precisely as they were when Blixen lived there, complete with her books, a lifetime collection of African memorabilia, brass-studded chests, delicate antique chairs and her fragile lace curtains. My friend and I were the only visitors on that day, so spent time in each room as if we were visiting an old friend. Later we walked through the preserve. Blixen is buried beneath a handsome and sheltering beech tree. Her grave at Rungstedlund is a simple granite marker. My friend and I left white roses there in tribute to the great author and pioneer.

"I have had the great good luck in life that when I sleep, I dream, and my dreams are always beautiful. The nightmare, with its squint-eyed combination of claustrophobia and horror vacui, I know from other people's accounts only, and mostly, for the last twenty years, from books and theatre. The gift of dreaming runs in my family, it is highly valued by all of use and makes us feel that we have been favored among other human beings. An old aunt of mine asked to have written on her tombstone: "She saw many a hard day, but her nights were sweet." From 'Shadows on the Grass' by Isak Dinesen (nom de plume of Karen Blixen) her memoirs of life in Africa, first published in 1960. Blixen had returned to Copenhagen and her glittering life there--and thought only of her life, left behind in Africa.

Isak Dinesen (1885-1962) The third story in the Seven Gothic Tales is "The Monkey," and perhaps one of my favorites. The plot is relatively simple and easy to follow, allowing the reader to sit back and enjoy the unpredictability of the events as they unwind. A young boy, Boris, is on the verge of moral decline and whether this prompts him to pursue a new fate or the fact that he has run out of things to do, he decides to seek out his old Aunt, the Virgin Prioress of Closter Seven in northern Europe and seek her advice. He would like to marry and hope his aunt can provide a good match for him. The aunt, overjoyed at this prospect, quickly dashes off a letter to an old Count and friend of hers, the father of Athena. And as Boris, gets ready for his visit to the Count and his future bride, he is impressed with the strength and cunning of his Aunt and women in general. "Women, he thought, when they are old enough to have done with the business of being women, and can loose their strength, must be the most powerful creatures in the whole world..." Similar to the protagonist of "The Old Chevalier," Boris has a fascination with women, in a sense they exist for his pleasure and to do his bidding. He sets in motion his desire and sits back as his aunt weaves her web. When he asks if there's a chance Athena might not have him, his aunt quickly dismisses the idea. Athena, she says, has no other options, probably has never been within close proximity of eligible men of any kind, and would be a fool to deny such a brilliant match. She goes so far as to say if Athena won't have him then she'll marry him herself! Athena though, like her namesake, has no desire to consort with a lover or marry, and like the goddess proves to be a formidable challenge, choosing to fight and proclaim war rather than consent to marry Boris. She is a tall, strong, burly woman and Boris is completely shocked when she refuses his proposal, just as he is beginning to warm to the idea and envision their future stocky children. The aunt proposes to lure Athena into a trap by getting her drunk on champagne in the guise of a quite dinner party and then leaving her to hash out her differences with Boris. Athena, slightly drunk but still able to reason, decides she needs to go to bed, and Boris eventually follows her to her room, where he figures the best course of action would be to profess his undying love, which he has just recently tried on for size and found that he is particularly adept at playing the role of unrequited lover. "Athena, he said, "I have loved you all my life. You know that without you I shall dry up and shrink, there shall be nothing left of me. Stoop to me, throw me back in the deep. Have mercy on me." Athena's response to his profession of love is to strike him, knocking out two of his teeth, as they wrestle each other, fighting tooth and nail for the right to impose their will on the other. As they fight, Boris thinks that nothing happier in all the world could have happened to him, and his soul is overjoyed like the the souls of the old Teutons, "to whom the lust of anger was in itself the highest voluptuousness, and who demanded nothing better of their paradise than the capacity for being killed once a day." His mouth dripping blood, as he dodges punches and kicks, Boris somehow manages to kiss Athena and in a moment emerges the victor of their physical dispute. Athena, having never been kissed before, receives the kiss like the deadliest blow and sinks to the floor like a stone effigy. The nest morning after taking further advantage of Athena's innocence and naivete, the prioress and Boris extract a promise of marriage from Athena. After she consents to marry Boris, she includes in her oath a further promise to kill Boris the first chance she gets, and then before she can finish speaking a monkey comes shrieking in through the window and dishevels the old aunt. Although this short story seemed more random and chaotic then the previous two in the collection, I think the moral of what we desire most often has the propensity to kill us, is a relevant one. Boris defines Athena not as a person with her one volition and preferences, but almost as a continuation of his desires, there only to conform to his will. Boris wants to be married and the person to fill the role of spouse is veritably inconsequential. Women, in the world of Isak Dinesen are often misunderstood and unrepresented, but in Athena we are given one woman who is a true warrior of her own independence who manages ultimately to emerge the victor.
