my comments on Chairil Anwar

Cemara menderai sampai jauh
terasa hari akan jadi malam
ada beberapa dahan di tingkap merapuh
dipukul angin yang terpendam

This stanza to me is the most beautiful poetic lines in the Malay language. To my view, an overall feeling of sadness envelopes one when reciting it.According to my interpretation,it displays the feelings of a man who believes his time is up in this world but some past doings have given rise to deep regrets.My greatest admiration and gratitude to Chairil Anwar for producing such a beautiful poem.
