Andaikan kaum kritikus pun para sastrawan pula MASTERA, mau menerima dengan hati jujur terhadap teguran nyata dari Sang Maha Realitas, atas kesembronoan yang disengajakan pada ketiga teks pidato SCB: 1. “Sajak dan Pertanggungjawaban Penyair” mengenai Asy-Syu’ara, 2. “Sambutan Upacara Penyerahan Anugerah Sastra Mastera,” dan ke 3. “Pidato Anugerah Sastra Dewan Kesenian Riau” pada kasus “Kun Fayakun,” Insya Allah hikmah dari musibah itu akan terbuka lebar jalannya. Di sana terdapat gumpalan materi padat kegagalan diri SCB sebagai sastrawan, yang gagap meramukan konsepnya menjadi utuh, lantas mencari-cari kepurnaan lewat ayat-ayat dari kitab suci yang disunat susunan beserta maknanya! Hebatnya lagi, ketiganya lolos sebagai pidato bergengsi, lalu dimuat di Koran Nasional, kemudian dibukukan, sampai kaum kritikus, para sastrawan yang biasa menulis di koran, sudah merasa puas sebagaimana tidak pernah saya temukan sanggahan dari mereka, mengenai tulisan-tulisan keblinger tersebut.

Cover Belakang:

… Namun alangkah sayang, keberhasilannya yang semu menumbuhkan tekat kelewat melunjak bertingkah ‘melupa dan mengingat’ dengan sangat ugal-ugalan menyulap “Kun Fayakun” dijelmakan (dirombaknya) membentuk kata-kata “Jadi maka Jadilah!” dan “Jadi, lantas jadilah!” (Bukan -Pidato Anugerah Sastra Dewan Kesenian Riau 2000- oleh SCB, yang terbit di “Bentara” Kompas, Jumat 11 Januari 2003, dan Sambutan SCB Pada Upacara Penyerahan Anugerah Sastra MASTERA, Bandar Seri Begawan, 14 Maret 2006)?

… seperti Dami N. Toda yang meski penelitiannya belum matang kurang jeli, dan terlanjur cepat Tuhan menjemputnya. Kata-kata ‘belum matang kurang jeli’ bisa dibaca di esainya yang bertitel “Kesibukan Hamba-Hamba Kebudayaan” lalu sejenis esai pertaubatannya yang dimuat Kompas 17 September 2006 yang berlabel “Pengakuan Anggota Waffen-SS,” yang disebut juga oleh Afrizal Malna di Tempo, 20 November 2006 dengan judul “Sejarah dalam Kulit Bawang,” dengan satu kunci perjalanan hidup sang pemenang Nobel Sastra 1999, Günter Grass.

Pengabdian yang besar tidak lepas dari hilaf dan semoga yang diungkapkan Elisa Dwi Wardani, hanyalah keterlepasan tidak pakem masanya. Entah sehabis mendapati penghargaan, sesudah syuting baca puisi di sebuah stasiun televisi atau TI teringat telah mengangkat begitu banyak penyair dari majalah sastra yang dipandeganinya, SCB misalnya. Lantas bayu bertiup kencang mengaburkan paham meninggikan derajat kepenyairannya, sampai-sampai seolah-olah penguasa kata-kata di alam jagad raya, dengan nada-nada:

“penyair adalah penguasa kata-kata,” dengan menurunkan melodinya; “mungkin tidak mengendalikan kata-kata secara otoriter, memangkas atau mencukur” namun penyair juga “membiarkan kata-kata mengukur emosinya, dan bernikmat-nikmat dengan kata-kata untuk mendapatkan pencerahan.”

***

Seingat saya (dalam arti semoga kelak ada yang merevisinya), penerjemah, sastrawan, kritikus Sapardi Djoko Damono pernah mengimbau agar karya sastra dijauhkan dari ilmu pengetahuan (“Sapardi Djoko Damono: Jadikan Sastra sebagai Seni, Bukan Ilmu di Sekolah,” Kompas 14 Oktober 2010). Maka secara otomatis bisa dibilang menghasilkan karya klangenan, bobotnya hanya lamunan, mentok bikin rindu tidak ketulungan pada gergaji kepenyairannya, ini dapat dirujuk kepastiannya pada puisi-puisinya. Dan secara terbuka saya lebih condong kepada penyair sekaligus politikus Muhammad Iqbal pula filsuf Jacques Derrida yang dengan tegas berpendapat; “Puisi ialah filsafat atau pun filsafat adalah sastra (puisi)” [kalau tidak keliru pada bukunya “The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam” (Iqbal), dan “Margins of Philosophy” (Derrida)]. …

In the book Raja Mantra Presiden Penyair, the poet, Taufik Ikram Jamil, wrote an essay entitle Bersama Sutardji Calzoum Bachri which has 16 pages, from page 64 to 79, tells of his familiarity with the figure which is known as mantra maker. 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.

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?

Anton Bruckner (1824 -1896)

Written by Nurel Javissyarqi
Translated by Agus B. Harianto
http://pustakapujangga.com/2010/07/anton-bruckner-1824-1896/

Anton Bruckner (September 4, 1824 – October 11, 1896) is Austrian composer known for his symphonies, masses, and the motet. His symphonies considered as the final phase marker of Austro-German Romanticism. Because of his harmonies are rich, and polyphonies are long and complex. His music composition helps to define contemporary musical radicalism that took dissonant, modulation without preparation, and complicated harmony as well. His symphonies received criticism over its length, so many repetitions, frequently revised, and the doubt about what version could be more prior. (http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Bruckner)

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.

Reviewing the Authorship of Sutardji Calzoum Bachri (SCB) from Nurel’s Book: “MENGGUGAT TANGGUNGJAWAB KEPENYAIRAN”

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)

From quotation of Dr. Abu Hanifah’s writing, Menyambut Ceramah Mochtar Lubis, Renungan Tentang “Manusia Indonesia Masa Kini” at part Lahirlah Sumpah Pemuda:

“Buku ini ditulis (keterangan sebelumnya; ada membicarakan sifat-sifat manusia Indonesia, dalam cara seperti dikemukakan oleh Saudara Mochtar Lubis.

Judulnya: Inleiding tot de Volkenkude van Nederlandsch Indie) dalam tahun 1920, dan dalam tahun-tahun 20-an itu timbul Renaissance Indonesia dengan gerakan Pemuda Indonesia, dan lahirnya Sumpah Pemuda, dan perangsang lagu kebangsaan Indonesia Raya.

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.

Acknowledgement (historical story)

As usual, I search the data from the mass media on Google for myself to be uploaded onto the website http://sastra-indonesia.com/ on which has been running since July 2008. I was ready to take serious risk to make the site from transportation fee of the literary event in Jakarta. After from the capital city, I felt as if I had become a poet, moreover I read a poem on same stage with the masters of literature, on the eve of the inaugural of Guru Besar (Professor) Abdul Hadi W.M., on the campus of Paramadina.
