Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Serbian Songs and Poems: Chords of the Yugoslav Harp These poems, as I understand, and the reader would suppose a priori, are traditional and national in their character, resembling in this aspect the delightful old folk-songs of England. They express the deep heart of a nation, through centuries of tempest and travail. What, I think, strikes one most of all is their amazing simplicity and directness - a directness which on occasion is pungent. There is humour too in many of these poems, and the thought, as distinct from the expression, is often of a charmingly imaginative quality. Consider, for instance, the last lines of the poem entitled "Love Before and After Death." This poem, too, presents a strange contrast in its first and second halves of a realism quite unaffected and (as some would perhaps have it) crude, with a fantasy perfectly pictorial. How distinctive the thought is at times, like nothing that is English or Latin! Here and there too a spirit of fatalism may be said to brood over a poem, Oriental, reminiscent of history. I imagine that the most competent critic would endorse the translator´s decision of retaining in more than one poem the directness of speech, the irregularity of form, without an attempt to refine and embellish which might easily induce in the mind an impression of trick or of artifice.
