My Life

My Life - Oswald MosleyI suppose the first answer is that it has always been my pays du bonheur since Iarrived in France to fight as a young airman and trench soldier. I have spent mostholidays there whenever I have not been in jail or suffering other political impediment.It is for me always a country of happy memory, warm friendship and congenial life,where I am free from politics. In France I read, think, write, see people but nevertouch internal politics; that would be as impolite as a guest challenging a host to acontroversial argument in his own house. I now feel equally at home in England,France or Germany; in a sense all Europe is my home. In seventeen years of living inEurope, following a lifetime of visits, in the rigours of war and in the felicity of peace,I have become fully and completely a European. It seems to me entirely natural to livein France.361 of 424
