Download or read book Folk-Lore in Borneo written by William Henry Furness and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this short monograph I do not pretend to give anything more than a Sketch of the Folk-lore to be found among the Borneans. The island is large, and the people, scattered and isolated by constant inter-tribal warfare, differ one tribe from another, in language, customs and appearance almost more than do Germans, French, or English; to say that any tradition or custom is common to all the tribes, or even to all of one tribe, of Borneans, would be far too sweeping. A still greater drawback to any universality, in legend or custom, is that there is no written language, not even so much as picture-drawings on rocks to give us a clue to ancient myths or traditions. The natives of Borneo are in a certain sense savages, but yet they are savages of a high order, possessed of a civilization far above what is usually implied by the term; they live together in what almost might be called coöperative communities, they practise the art of weaving, they forge rough implements of iron, they cultivate rice and esculent plants, and in all their work, such as house-building, boat-building, manufacture of cloth and weapons of warfare, they show an ambitious desire, and a skilful ability, to ornament their work and add, to its usefulness, pleasure to the eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home-Life of Borneo Head-Hunters: Its Festivals and Folk-Lore While to scenery, it is distance, - and photography, - which lends enchantment, it is, on the contrary, propinquity which, in my experience, lends to the Borneo Head-Hunters and to their Home-life, a charm which cannot be wholly dispelled even by the skulls hanging from the rafters of their houses. After living among them, for months at a time, an insight is gained into their individualities and peculiarities which a casual sojourn can never disclose. Some, of course, are ill-tempered, crotchety, selfish; others, again, are mild, gentle, generous. The youths have their languishing loves, which they are eager to confide to sympathetic ears. The maidens are coy, or demure, or bashful, when their lovers are near, and delight in teasing and tormenting. The Bornean mothers and fathers think their babies the prettiest that ever were born; and the young boys are as boyish as schoolboys here at home, and are quite as up to all mischief. It is so much easier to descend than it is to rise in what we call civilization, that, before a month is passed in a Kayan or a Kenyah house, the host and hostess, who, on first sight, seemed to be uncouth savages, frightfully mutilated as to eyes, ears, and teeth, are regarded as kind-hearted, devoted friends. It becomes well-nigh impossible to realise that they cannot add the simplest of sums without the aid of fingers and toes; and that Caesar, Shakespeare, and Washington are to them meaningless, unpronounceable words. Their honesty, (in a twelve months' residence the only thing stolen from me was a tooth-powder bottle, ) their simple, childlike nature, their keen interest in the pursuit of the moment, and their vivacious excitability, place them in advance of any 'savages' with whom I have ever, in my many wanderings, come in contact.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Religion, Folk-Lore, and Custom in British North Borneo and the Malay Peninsula Apart from the slight changes indicated above, the chief emendations that I have made in my material are with regard to the spellings of native words and names1 and the removal of some Malay terms from the Bornean folk-tales. Faults, no doubt, still remain, but I must ask my readers, should they discover any, to be as lenient as they can, since a good deal of my work, especially that relating to Borneo, is of a pioneer ing nature, forming a rough track, which later-comers will, I hope, develop into a fair highway.
