Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799-1837)

KEPADA PENYAIR
Alexander Pushkin

Pantangkan penyair, mengharap sanjung yang ramai.
Riuh tepuk mereka sebentar mati gemanya;
Lalu kaudengar putusan timbangan Pak Tolol
Dan ketawa halayak yang bikin hati patah;
Tapi andai kau teguh, tak guncang dan sederhana,
Rajalah engkau dan nasib raja hidup sendiri.
Bathin bebas didiri berseru padamu: Teruskan!
Sempurnakan kuntum indah dari mimpi-mimpimu,
Tapi jangan harap-puji atas buah ciptamu.
Puji berakar di bathin; hakimnya engkau sendiri,
Dan ambil putusan terkeras terhadap diri sendiri.
Tapi, andai kau puas, biar itu kawanan menggonggong
Peduli mereka meludah dinyala siar mimbarmu
Dan pada tarian asap menyan dari kuilmu.

Translated by Agus B. Harianto

"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."
