Postcard to Sophie Liebknecht, July 7, 1916
Rosa Luxemburg was arrested on July 10th. This postcard is the only one written while Rosa Luxemburg was still at liberty.
Leipzig, July 7, 1916
My dear little Sonya,[1]
The heat is steamy and oppressive, as it so often is in Leipzig â I find the weather here very trying. This morning I sat for two hours beside the pond in the park, reading The Man of Property.[2]
Itâs brilliant. A little old woman sat down beside me, glanced at the title page, and smiled, saying: âThat must be a fine book. I am fond of reading myselfâ. Before I settled down to read, of course I had a good look at the trees and shrubs in the park, and was glad to see that they were all old friends. It is quite different with human beings, for I find that contact with them grows continually more unsatisfying: I think I shall retire into a hermitage, like St. Antony â minus the temptations! Try not to worry.
With much love,
Rosa
Love to the children.
