2. Jaroslav Seifert
   Biography and poems of the nobelPrize-winning Czech poet.  
   http://www.geocities.com/hara_kiri_2/JaroslavSeifertmain.html
   
   Extractions: In the Czech Republic, poetry is regarded as a normal, everyday activity. The names of famous poets are household words. Their works are widely quoted and discussed. They are respected by the “people” as well as by the elite; their support has always been solicited and their hostility feared by rulers. When Seifert was seriously ill, crowds assembled outside his house and stood in silence, in a spontaneous show of concern and respect. Although Seifert lived through many historic turns of his homeland, his was not a political poetry, except in its constant expression of love for his homeland, its beauties and its values. His work was unpretentious, lyrical yet irreverent, earthy, charming. Seifert was known for the simplicity of his verse, yet his poems are full of surprises, never what at first they seem. They are marked by imagery that is beautiful or comical, by good, deep values, and by love in all its forms. All his life, Seifert was enraptured by the beauty of the physical world. Modestly and unpretentiously, he infects his readers with his love of life and his joyfulness. He was a poet of the world of senses, not of transcendence, angst, fear or trembling. He was not a learned or an intellectual poet, but a concrete, popular one. Not theories and abstractions, but the sensuous and emotional values of life drew his attention and praise. He was the great poet of Prague, of love, of the sense.”

From 1930, he served in various editorial posts within the social democratic press ( Pestré kvety, Ranní noviny

In his poems Seifert has celebrated Prague and the cultural heritage of his country. His verse has been praised for its conversational style, humor, and sensuality. "... poetry has occupied a very important position in our cultural life. It is as though poetry, lyrics were predestined not only to speak to people very closely... but also to be our deepest and safest refuge, where we seek succor in adversities we sometimes dare not even name." (from Nobel lecture Jaroslav Seifert was born in Zizkov, a working-class suburb of Prague, into a poor family. His father was a manager of a small general store. Seifert spent his afternoons helping to deliver goods to customers throughout Prague. In his youth he admired the Russian Revolution of 1917 and became a Socialist.

He conjures up another world than that of tyranny and desolation a world that exists both here and now . . . one that exists in our dreams and our will and our art."

   Extractions: Nobel Lecture 1984 "ON THE PATHETIC AND LYRICAL STATE OF MIND" Biography Works in Translation Nobel Prize Links I am often asked, particularly by foreigners, how one can explain the great love of poetry in my country: why there exists among us not only an interest in poems but even a need for poetry. Perhaps that means my countrymen also possess a greater ability to understand poetry than any other people. Any title (in any language) by Jaroslav Seifert Find it Here To my way of thinking, this is a result of the history of the Czech people over the past 400 yearsand particularly of our national rebirth in the early 19th Century. The loss of our political independence during the Thirty Years' War deprived us of our spiritual and political elite. Its membersthose who were not executedwere silenced or forced to leave the country. That resulted not only in an interruption of our cultural development, but also in a deterioration of our language. Not only was Catholicism reinstituted by force, but Germanization was imposed by force as well. By the early 19th Century, however, the French Revolution and the Romantic period were exposing us to new impulses and producing in us a new interest in democratic ideals, our own language, and our national culture. Our language became our most important means of expressing our national identity.

Jan. 10, 1986, Prague, Czechoslovakia), poet and journalist who in 1984 became the first Czech to win the Nobel Prize for Literature Seifert made a living as a journalist until 1950, but his first book of poetry, ("City in Tears"), was published in 1920. His early proletarian poetry reflects his youthful expectations for the future of communism in the Soviet Union. As he matured, however, Seifert became less enchanted with that system of government, and his poetic themes began to evolve. In (1925; "On Wireless Waves") and (1926; "The Nightingale Sings Wrong"), more lyrical elements of so-called pure poetry were evident. In 1929 Seifert broke with the Communist Party. The history and other aspects of Czechoslovakia were the most common subjects of his poetry. In Zhasnete svetla (1938; "Switch Off the Lights") he wrote about the Munich agreement by which part of Czechoslovakia was annexed to Germany. Prague was the subject of (1940; "Clothed in Light"), and the Prague uprising of 1945 provided the focus of
