give me a hand
offer me a road
and rise with the sun!
I want to see the night
in your eyes
more miserable than ever.
-ESMAIL SHAHRUDI(b.DAMGHAN10 BAHMAN 1304/1925-d.NOV.25,1360/1981,TEHRAN):
SELECTED POEMS,BAMDAD 1348/1969
*NIMA'S INTRODUCTION TO THE LAST BATTLE,POEMS OF ESMAIL SHAHRUDI
*
With the arrival of Nima's students such as Esmail Shahrudi,Manuchehr Sheibani, and later on Ahmad Shamlu among others ,an individual revolt turned to collective revolt with social consequences.Like Nima both Shahrudi and Shamlu spend times in prison due to expressions of their thoughts and ideas.
Nima in his introduction to Shahrudi's first book of poetry,The Last Battle, writes:
Your collection of poetry reminds me of people.People thinks their view could be totally free and independent ,while it is not so .View of everyone , like life , is their truth.then it is related to others'.The good and evil that people search in others ideas,the others also seek in their thoughts...p351
If everything is truth,this is truth too,which is going to let us find ourselves to be in what condition.As music deals with man's feeling,Literature also is dealing with good and bad life...p352
