CHAPTER TWO<br />

tempol"alitv. but bv stl"essin~ the moment o~ ohan~e ~l"om<br />

one moment to the next. When speakin~ of l"hvthm<br />

Cl"njanski l"efel"s to mood and psvOholo~ioal<br />

state. as<br />

when he l"e~el"s to simultaneitv. In "Ob;faAnjenje<br />

'Sumatl"e'" he oomments that he is in seal"ch of "l"itam<br />

svako~ l"aspolo!enja" ("the l"hvthm o~ each mood").<br />

Howevel". it is in his essav "Za slobodni stih" in which<br />

he focuses on l"hvthm and its meanin~s<br />

and implioations<br />

both for the literarv text and for timel<br />

Samo je neobaveltenost i neznanje kl"ivo<br />

Ato se slobodni stih smatl"a pl"ozom. Nije<br />

l"itam one Ito ~1ni pesmu pesmom i nije<br />

ritam samo dobovanje dvanaestel"ca.<br />

Pl"eoenjivanje ~ol"me. koje je tako ~esto<br />

od Renesansa naovamo. Ikod11o je najv11e<br />

l"azvitku novih ~ol"ama. A to je Ateta.<br />

Pl"oAlost lil"ike jel impl"ovizacija •<br />

. Najvili stepen njen :fe kitajska ili<br />

japanska lil"ika. ~de se u jednom cvetu.<br />

ili u tracu po sneau dracanovih stopa.<br />

oseti ve~nost kao u tl"epel"enju malih<br />

zvezda.<br />

Onlv unin~ol"med and i~norant opinion is<br />

to blame for cons1derinc fl"ee verse<br />

prose. Rhvthm is not that whioh makes a<br />

poem and l"hvthm is not just the beat o~<br />

the twelve-svllable line. The<br />

ovel"emphas1s on fOl"m. which has been so<br />

fl"equent from the Renaissanoe to todav.<br />

has done most dama~e to the evolution of<br />

new forms. And that is a shame. The<br />

past o~ the lV1"10 ist improvisation. Its<br />

~reatest decree is the Chinese or<br />

3apanese lVl"ic. whel"e in a sin~le flower.<br />

or in the dracon's footsteps aoross the<br />

snow. etern1tv is felt as in the<br />

twinklin~ o·~ little stars.<br />

As with his principle of simultaneitv. Crnjanski<br />

assooiates l"hvthm with literal"V fOl"m. and with more than<br />

litel"al"V ~orm whioh is alwavs linked to life itsel~.<br />
