Kányádi Sándor: Towards Noah's Ark (Noé bárkája felé in English)
Noé bárkája felé (Hungarian)a Nagy Imre-festmény hátára
|
Towards Noah's Ark (English)on the back of the Nagy Imre-painting
We have to take, to drive in everything. The words as well. Not a single word, no dialect-word should stay out. Nothing’s superfluous.
It may as well pour forty thousand days and forty thousand nights, if not even a backwash-bubble of conscience- twinge follows the ark.
For the water will ebb away. And the mud gets dry some day.
And then, from the preserved, still existing word again we can re-create the first grain of wheat itself if with Word we can’t live on any more.
1973
