A Bit Prologue

Poetry Anthology "Ballads of Too Early Destiny"
 
Written by KRT. Suryanto Sastroatmodjo
Translated by Agus B. Harianto
 
The craziness leads to one hole,
doesn’t seen but felt,
digs the own grave in the entrenchment of ground,
uncovers the great grand mother; all kind of bones are breaking uncommonly,
spread around, be collapsed suppressed by the war. Where doesn’t change,
become the digger for the all brothers. (The Crazy Man Accost You: XXXVII).

Ikram told the story of Tardji since he was a kid to the creative process on the land of Pasundan, with warm hug of longing, it seems that Ikram knows exactly tread step and sniffed the scent, sign and shape of any cloud shades.

”Penyair-penyair itu diikuti oleh orang-orang yang dungu.
Tidakkah kau lihat  mereka menenggelamkan diri dalam sembarang  lembah hayalan dan kata,
dan mereka suka mengujarkan apa yang tak mereka kerjakan  kecuali mereka yang beriman,
beramal baik, banyak mengingat dan menyebut Allah dan melakukan  pembelaan ketika dizalimi”.
(Terjemahan QS. Asysyu’araa: 224-227)

The Truth of Language, Mantra, and Responsibility

(The Response to Book Entitle “Menggugat Tanggung Jawab Kepenyairan Sutardji Calzoum Bachri (Sue Responsibility of Authorship of Sutardji Calzoum Bachri)”
By Mahmud Ali Jauhari
Translated by Agus B. Harianto

What is in your mind when you read the title above? Is it pattern of language? Shaman who is reciting a mantra? A man who was fulfilling his responsibilities? Or, what?


That day, in a study room, I listened to a short question, “What is language?” Perhaps you’ve heard it either. Or, maybe not. Regarding to the question, many people answer it with a simple sentence, “Language is a communication tool.” The question now, is it true that language is a communication tool?

There are several Java’s mantra adopted from the doctrine values of Islam, if one of which is far from it should be, it will contaminate spiritual of its depths, such as the spell kulhu sunsang, taken from surah Al-Ikhlas, but distorted till turned a summersault aimlessly.

The mantras which have low-power spiritual and its aura seen red, are easy to learn because it serves to jinn or be united in one with jinn; the patterns of deviation from the true teaching that is deliberately dismantled for the sake of particular fame. It is usually worn by shamans who are not responsible.

Penyair-penyair itu diikuti orang-orang yang sesat. Tidakkah kau lihat mereka menenggelamkan diri dalam sembarang lembah khayalan dan kata. Dan mereka sering mengujarkan apa yang tak mereka kerjakan. Kecuali mereka yang beriman, beramal baik, banyak mengingat dan menyebut Allah dan melakukan pembelaan ketika didzalimi. (QS As-Syu’ara, 224-227)

The name of Sutardji Calzoum Bachri is familiar in Indonesian literature for his Poetry Credo. Below I quote some part of it:

“Kata-kata harus bebas dari penjajahan pengertian, dari beban idea. Kata-kata harus bebas menentukan dirinya sendiri.


“The words must be free from colonialism of understanding, from the burden of ideas. The words should be free to decide themselves.”

Before I wrote a little further, allowed me to confide about what I felt for this moment. Actually I’m not old enough and science to interpret it. But to answer the Tardji’s essay and the interpreting of the poets I’ve ever read about Asy Syu’ara, I felt like there was a wind blow forced me to write on. Certainly, it will not hamper re-determination in the future, for the sake of sharpening the meaning of life experiences, so sure of, and that’s the prologue of the wanderer.

Language of music is universal tone for the soul of human being and poetry can be said as its descent. The music could break the silence of communication such as stone incarnates golden cup for the stillness of sorrow of the universe. The loneliness makes the melodious songs and perhaps the words complete it, comes into the framework of history until civilization as the flowers.

I adjourn my sleepy, for the rustling and cute dawn:
women walk to market, the birds chirp.

It fell asleep on the grain of cloud, recited hill,

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

“Bach is exclusively about music. There is no literature, or statement of his own life came to reduce the purity of sound. He is synthesis of the preceding, and became the starting point of the afterwards. Even now there is still influence on to the modern music. We could find him again until the concerts of Stravinski and Poulenc. Bach must often be read and probably indeed that people have not been able to reveal all the beauty of his music.”
