Versindaba Blog Archive Bernard Odendaal. "Christ of the burnt men"
The poem analysis I over the next three weeks here in my blog will take, is done in October filament 2004 with a view to a ATKV workshop in Bloemfontein, offered for African teachers in the FET phase-school teaching. I asked the poem analysis as to tackle it would be useful as teaching material. Hence the question-answer approach, aimed at student participation in the analysis filament process to instill.

The poem with the poem "Transfiguration" (which Christ is portrayed as a transformed to the speaker appears) the lock Cussons's second book, The Black Kitchen (1978). Both poems are about the theophany, the "Theophany in sight and vision in the Old Testament" (HAT).
In mysticism, which sought to (spiritual) union with God, is the theophany the last phase of the misterieproses filament (De Villiers, 1985:138; Encyclopaedia Britannica, vol. 12:786). To this union possible, the man is a transfiguration (metamorphosis) undergoing. The black kitchen is also a collection where the union with God through change, filament transformation or sanctification filament (often by fire) is central. (Keep in mind that the kitchen is a place of omstoking is where raw, individual ingredients to a sweet and wholesome unit processed. It is therefore in the beam symbolizes both psychological, religious as poetic transfiguration - Gilfillan, 1985: 37-38; Bosman, filament 1989:112-113.)
According to the quotes which stood the subtitle in brackets, the title poem, a citation from the works of Thomas Merton. In the note to the poem in verse Travels (Vermaak et al, 2001), the complete phrase quoted from which the quotation is taken: "That you May Become the brother of God and learn to know the Christ filament of the burnt men" (from The Seven Storey Mountain, Merton's autobiography). As Cussons, the American a writer and a member of the Roman Catholic Church, but he also very interested in Eastern religions and in particular techniques of meditation as these religions (Fouché, 1992:41; Gilfillan 1985:72).
The Rider Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion (1989) explains that "meditation" is a common filament term for a wide variety, methodologically often diverse religious practices which by all roughly the same goal pursued: the consciousness of the meditasiebeoefenaar to bring about a situation where an experience of 'awakening', 'liberation' or 'light' as possible. filament Rigorous practice of meditation filament leads of these views to a non-dualistic state of mind: The distinction between subject (meditation) and object (-mediated) disappeared; the meditasiebeoefenaar be one with God 'or' absolute '; conventions (common features) such as time and space transcend an experience of an 'eternal here and now' to achieve while the unity of life and death, of the forms and the essence of things, experienced.
In December 1968 Merton died when he was a fan electrocuted - Cussons also later in her life in an accident with a gas stove on her body and face burns and subsequent skendmerke injuries. It is clear that for various reasons Cussons with American and his work could identify.
This implies brandongelukke both of them experienced, as in the introductory discussion to the poem above. Skrynend is the suggestion that people in general ("we" in the title) only 'burned' (wounded, ie refined) should be before Christ as their savior can occur.
The hoflikheidsvorm ("U") which God traditionally addressed, assume a respectful, even fear fully detached. Where in this poem the mystical quest for union with Christ is portrayed, is the personal-intimate "you" as a means of the confidential relationship filament between subject (human) filament and object (Christ) indicate. Chrustus as it were, as a friend and companion approached.
If "smiling", filament "jokes" and "bright-eyed", filament ie as love and humorous. No, it seems at first sight to rhyme with the distancing that the human suffering signed filament by him "gadegeslaan" is not. (See "sengende wounds" that the "I" gain "in hand / foot and head and trunk and".)
"Bewildered" means fear, terror or fear. Probably therefore intended that the subject (the "I") life of the purifying suffering an anguished cry existence of Christ. The word "expeditiously" by association can also "alarmed" connected, so that the confusion and turmoil of a life onvoldrae also be called.
