\nOantekening oer moanneljocht<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

As in sljochte dichter dy\u2019t syn geast gean lit
\nOer de gelikens fan syn ferskate hielal, sa skynt,
\nYn de monogrome nacht, dit iene moanneljocht
\nOp de bare foarwerplikens fan de dingen.<\/p>\n

It is as makket observearre wurde it w\u00eazen \u00fat,
\nAs is, mids de mooglike bedoelings
\nFan wat men sjocht, de bedoeling dy\u2019t earst komt,
\nIt oerflak, de bedoeling dy\u2019t sjoen wurde moat,<\/p>\n

De eigenskip fan de moanne, wat it opropt.
\nIt is de essinsjele tsjintwurdigens \u00fbntslute
\nFan, sis, in berch, minder in foarwerp
\nMar hast ta in betsjutting \u00fatdijd en ferheft;<\/p>\n

Of oars yn de figuer dy\u2019t op de dyk wachtet
\nMear in foarwerp \u00fbntslute, in \u00fbnbepaalde foarm
\nTusken de kromme stalten fan in skutter en in frijer yn,
\nIn gebeart yn it tsjuster, in eangst dy\u2019t field wurdt<\/p>\n

Yn de nachtlike fiergesichten, dan dy foarm oannimt,
\nYn de hortus dy\u2019t as fan stjer Saturnus is.
\nSa is dan dizze waarme, wide, waarleaze r\u00east
\nWurksum mei in kr\u00eaft, in ynherint libben,<\/p>\n

Nettsjinsteande de bare foarwerplikens fan de dingen,
\nAs in wolkich plakje yn de hoeke fan in spegel,
\nIn ferkleuring yn de sljochte dichter syn geast,
\nNacht en stilte fersteurd troch in ynderlik l\u00fbd,<\/p>\n

Dit iene moanneljocht, it ferskate hielal, sa bot bedoeld
\nOm mar sjoen te wurden \u2013 in bedoeling, leech
\nFaaks, absurd faaks, mar teminsten in bedoeling,
\nWis en aloan wer nij. Ach! Wis, welseker…<\/p>\n

Note on Moonlight<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

The one moonlight, in the simple-colored night,
\nLike a plain poet revolving in his mind
\nThe sameness of his various universe,
\nShines on the mere objectiveness of things.<\/p>\n

It is as if being was to be observed,
\nAs if, among the possible purposes
\nOf what one sees, the purpose that comes first,
\nThe surface, is the purpose to be seen,<\/p>\n

The property of the moon, what it evokes.
\nIt is to disclose the essential presence, say,
\nOf a mountain, expanded and elevated almost
\nInto a sense, an object the less; or else<\/p>\n

To disclose in the figure waiting on the road
\nAn object the more, an undetermined form
\nBetween the slouchings of a gunman and a lover,
\nA gesture in the dark, a fear one feels<\/p>\n

In the great vistas of night air, that takes this form,
\nIn the arbors that are as if of Saturn-star.
\nSo, then, this warm, wide, weatherless quietude
\nIs active with a power, an inherent life,<\/p>\n

In spite of the mere objectiveness of things,
\nLike a cloud-cap in the corner of a looking-glass,
\nA change of color in the plain poet\u2019s mind,
\nNight and silence disturbed by an interior sound,<\/p>\n

The one moonlight, the various universe, intended
\nSo much just to be seen \u2013 a purpose, empty
\nPerhaps, absurd perhaps, but at least a purpose,
\nCertain and ever more fresh. Ah! Certain, for sure . . .<\/p>\n
