When I think of my great-grandmother Josephine Nadeau as a young ladyin Quebec, I imagine that she too, in the 1880s, would have been facedwith choices about remaining in Quebec, or leaving to live her lifeelsewhere. The following is an excerpt from Maria Chapdelaine: a Taleof the Lake St. John Country, by Louis Hemon (translated by W.H.Blake), New York: MacMillan, 1921. We will never know if our ancestorJosephine had similar thoughts. Marie Chapdelaine remained in Quebec.Our ancestor Josephine, probably born in Quebec, was in Ontario, nearManitoulin Island, when she married Louis Beaudin in 1885. [ PJG]
....Maria shuddered; the emotion which had glowed in her heart wasdying; once again she said to herself: "And yet it is a harsh land,this land of ours...Why should I linger here?"
Then it was that a third voice, mightier than the others, lifteditself up in the silence; the voice of Quebec -- now the song of awoman, now the exhortation of a priest....
Thus spake the voice:--"Three hundred years ago we came, and we haveremained...They who led us hither might return among us withoutknowing shame or sorrow, for if it be true that we have littlelearned, most surely nothing is forgot.
"We bore oversea our prayers and our songs; they are ever the same.We carried in our bosoms the hearts of the men of our fatherland,brave and merry, easily moved to pity as to laughter, of all humanhearts the most human; nor have they changed. traced the boundaries ofa new continent, from Gaspe to Montreal, from St. Jean d'Iberville toUngava, saying as we did it: -- Within these limits all we broughtwith us, our faith, our tongue, our virtues, our very weaknesses arehenceforth hallowed things which no hand may touch, which shall endureto the end.
"Strangers have surrounded us whom it is our pleasure to callforeigners; they have taken into their hands most of the rule, theyhave gathered to themselves much of the wealth; but in this land ofQuebec nothing has changed. Nor shall anything change, for we are thepledge of it. Concerning ourselves and our destiny but one duty havewe clearly understood: that we should hold fast -- should endure. Andwe have held fast, so that, it may be, many centuries hence the worldwill look upon us and say:-- These people are of a race that knows nothow to perish ...We are a testimony. "For this is it that we mustabide in that Province where our fathers dwelt, living as they havelived, so to obey the unwritten command that once shaped itself intheir hearts, that passed to ours, which we in turn must hand on todescendants innumerable: --In this land of Quebec naught shall die andnaught shall suffer change..." Marie Chapdelaine awaked from herdream to the thought: --"So I shall stay -- shall stay here afterall!" For the voices had spoken commandingly and she knew she couldnot choose but to obey....
...Throughout the hours of the night Maria moved not; with handsfolded in her lap, patient of spirit and without bitterness, yetdreaming a little wistfully of the far-off wonders her eyes wouldnever behold and of the land wherein she was bidden live with itsstore of sorrowful memories; of the living flame which her heart hadknown awhile and lost forever, and the deep snowy woods whence toodaring youths shall no more return.
