the visitor will repel,
and the ears and areas of my body has become empty,
As the notes to the poem in the anthology Travel Verse (Vermaak et al, 2001:135) explains, this poem when Breytenbach galati was in solitary confinement. He was jailed for terrorist activities he was convicted. His opposition to the former government's apartheid policies included stemmed from the fact that he married a Vietnamese woman, Hoang Lien (or Yolande), married, a marriage is regarded as a violation of the Immorality Act. Due to her family wanted the apartheid government also does not have a visa to allow her to South Africa to visit.
The poem can, after the example of Van Vuuren (1999:279) as "jail" poetry typified. She is the main exponent of Breytenbach such poetry in Afrikaans, but his difference of poetry from other prisoners by the political involvement in it on the ground, but the theme of "the constant outsiderfiguur". As a result, he wrote more "surreal and neo-romantic poetry" in the five books during his captivity (1975-1982) originated, namely Footer (1976), eclipse (1983) ("YK") (1983) Buffalo Bill (1984) Life and Death (1985).
"(The galati memory of a cage full of birds) - Plato" in the first section of Breytenbach's first prison beam appears, a division which "charity verses and reflections galati on the nature of the word and poetry especially poems about prison the situation of me and the meager impressions of the outside world "is included; "A (b) eduidende number of verses dealing with the absent lover who nevertheless an important contact with the outside world" (Kannemeyer, 1983:485-486).
Breytenbach's depiction of his situation in the prison cell in this poem called, as the title poem, the image of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato of human life and has given notice in mind.
These include Störig (1972:151-154) explains, Plato namely a distinction between the eternal Kingdom of Ideas (from the Greek eidos or idea, originally "image, likeness" - therefore, forms, galati types, general statements of Being) and hiermaalse world of the senses, where the general idea expressed in particular galati phenomena, but only afskaduwings is the absolute, metaphysical realities of Ideas. The separate things perish, but their eternal examples is the idea immortal.
Plato tried to explain the difference through its famous cave representation. People are beaten in handcuffs like in a prison, galati are in the hiermaalse live in a kind of underground, cave-like residence, which has a long access road to the light, but where people have their heads down. The light beam from a fire far above and behind them. Between the fire and prisoners, and prisoners along the top, walking an aisle, galati with a wall of it. Behind the wall many people carry objects above the wall level. Some of the carriers galati are talking, others silent.
What people together and therefore the objects galati (representing the earthly things) come to know, like the shadows on the rock thrown towards them and that they have certain galati things from the mouths of the speakers carriers get heard. They believe that afskaduwings and those descriptions are the things themselves.
Plato, however, went further and three functions of the human soul distinguished: mind, will and desire. The mind has its seat in the head, the feeling in the chest, the soul in the body. Only the mind, the spirit, is the immortal part of the soul. The immortal galati soul has neither beginning nor end, and which is essentially concerned with the so-called one world soul. This is the part of man by which he fell to the Ideëryk. All our knowledge is wederherinnering from the original world sheet and soul of the earlier beliggaminge (the reincarnations) of the soul.
Plato writes further: "Because the soul is immortal and born many times, and because all things here and in the underworld, saw, there is nothing not experienced. It is therefore not verwonderlik that it is able to sight the virtue and the other things in mind, yet it earlier knew. For given that the entire nature are interrelated and the soul all experienced it, there is nothing that prevents someone but a trifle reminded - something with people learning known - all the previous knowledge of himself find , but he should encourage and tirelessly in his quest. For searching and learning is all memory. galati "
