\nOer moderne po\u00ebzy<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

It fers fan de geast yn aksje om te finen
\nWat foldocht. It hat net altyd sykje hoegd:
\nDe setting wie bepaald; it werhelle wat
\nYn it skript stie.
\n                             Doe waard it toaniel feroare
\nYn wat oars. Syn ferline wie in oantinken.<\/p>\n

It moat libben w\u00eaze, it praten fan it plak leare.
\nIt moat de manlju fan no temjitte gean en de froulju
\nFan no moetsje. It moat neitinke oer oarloch
\nEn \u00fatfine wat foldocht. It moat in nij poadium
\nBouwe. It moat op dat poadium stean
\nEn as in net te s\u00eadzjen akteur, stadich en
\nMei oerlis, wurden sprekke dy\u2019t yn it ear,
\nYn it fynsinnichste ear fan de geast, sekuer
\nWerhelje wat it hearre wol, mei de klank
\nDy\u2019t in \u00fbnsichtber publyk harkje lit,
\nNet nei it toanielstik mar nei himsels, \u00fatdrukt
\nYn in emoasje as fan twa minsken, as fan twa
\nEmoasjes dy\u2019t ien wurde. De akteur is
\nIn metafysikus yn it tsjuster, dy\u2019t in ynstrumint
\nPuont, in metalen snaar puont, klanken
\nMeitsjend dy\u2019t trochlitte wat ynienen kloppet
\nEn de geast, d\u00ear\u2019t it net \u00fbnder \u00f4fdale kin en
\nNet boppe \u00fatstige wol, folslein omfiemje.
\n                                                                           It moat
\nIt finen fan in foldwaning w\u00eaze en kin gean
\nOer in man op redens, in frou dy\u2019t d\u00fbnset, in frou
\nDy\u2019t har hier kjimt. It fers fan de geast as aktor.<\/p>\n

Of Modern Poetry<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

The poem of the mind in the act of finding
\nWhat will suffice. It has not always had
\nTo find: the scene was set; it repeated what
\nWas in the script.
\n                                Then the theatre was changed
\nTo something else. Its past was a souvenir.<\/p>\n

It has to be living, to learn the speech of the place.
\nIt has to face the men of the time and to meet
\nThe women of the time. It has to think about war
\nAnd it has to find what will suffice. It has
\nTo construct a new stage. It has to be on that stage,
\nAnd, like an insatiable actor, slowly and
\nWith meditation, speak words that in the ear,
\nIn the delicatest ear of the mind, repeat,
\nExactly, that which it wants to hear, at the sound
\nOf which, an invisible audience listens,
\nNot to the play, but to itself, expressed
\nIn an emotion as of two people, as of two
\nEmotions becoming one. The actor is
\nA metaphysician in the dark, twanging
\nAn instrument, twanging a wiry string that gives
\nSounds passing through sudden rightnesses, wholly
\nContaining the mind, below which it cannot descend,
\nBeyond which it has no will to rise.
\n                                                                It must
\nBe the finding of a satisfaction, and may
\nBe of a man skating, a woman dancing, a woman
\nCombing. The poem of the act of the mind.<\/p>\n
