Radovan Vu~kovi6
desoribes Crnjanski' s sumat.raist
outlook as "~ilozo~ija ekspresionizma" ("philosophv o~
expressionism" 20).
Nikola Milo.evi6 points to the link
between the structure o~
the poem "Sumatra" and its
"~ilozo~ska dimenzija" ("philosophioal dimension" 21).
Zdenko Le.i6, on the other hand, ~mphasises
that the
messace o~ the peem is to be ~ound "u samom jeziku" ("in
the lancuace itsel~" 22). Mate Lon~ar has written one
o~ the most comprehensive artioles on sumatraism whioh
inoludes disoussion on its historical sicni~ioanoe,
its
philosophioal import. and crnjanski's stvle o~
lancuace
(23). While sumatraism does not o~~er a coherent
philosophV. it does. however. provide a base on whioh to
build an analvsis o~
brincinc tocether o~
time in Crnjanski's novels bv its
ideas and lancuace whioh
"djelotvorno tekla kroza sva kasni;la um;letnU!ka
ostvarenja Crnjanskoc" ("oreativelv.~lows
throuch all
Crnjanski's later artistio works" 21f.).
Zt is onlv possible to cain a ~ull
insicht into
Crnjanski's ideas on time bv oomplementlnc his use o~
"veza" with his use o~
the term "ritam tt (ttrhvthm").
whioh is also to be ~ound
in his essavs, partioularlv in
the seoond essav "Za slobodni stih". These two terms
taken tocether ~orm
the twin prinoiples whioh
oharaoterise crnjanski's thlnkinc on time and its
representation in all his novels.
