\n

Under all circumstances you seem to be under the observation of the intelligence-people of your own Socialist Country who are doing this social service to harass you a great deal in any near future and certain people including the \u201eambassador\u201d (the mathematician one!) in the Romanian Embassy here in Delhi are trying to molest your good name in India by spreading rumors about you and your being a \u201erogue\u201d and say to people here that \u201eyou\u201d are going to be exiled from Romania and\/or are going to be punished in some way. You are simple sincere poet like Mihai Eminescu and all your life you will remain simple & sincere to Romania as you always expressed and praised Mihai Eminescu and worked sincerely for the cause of deeper understanding between India and Romania.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I also published Mihai Eminescu’s poem on page number 11 viz. The Elfland Damsel and in a footnote told how great a poet Mihai Eminescu was and how many new Romanian poets he has influenced. But this sick person, the very much sick person, your Romanian ambassador Mr. Mitu Nicu spoiled everything by raising a lot of hue and cry and luckily he also revealed the very confidential things of your government that they were about to frame cases against you and were about to \u201eexile\u201d you from Romania and that you were a \u201erogue\u201d and argued with me for five hours (from 4.45 p.m. To 9.50 p.m. On 18.9.1979) in the Romanian embassy about many things on page 9 and also criticized why this person Gheorghe Anca who is not a poet at all and is not a representative of Romanian poetry has had been published by me in their National Day issue and of the magazine and if you had written the introduction (I wrote it myself) and if the photograph and poems were supplied by Anca?<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I like to confirm our \u201eInternational Academy Mihai Eminescu for Culture. Poetry & Arts\u201d and also the Eminescologistic human love for human race. I am happy that \u201eTagore Institute of Arts\u201d (India) and \u201eHafiz Iran Society\u201d (Iran:Teheran) are all cooperating with us and in 1989 we hope to reach Bucharest at his anniversary.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I attended then the full Mexican Week celebrated in New Delhi and met poet Octavio Paz of Mexico who writes in Spanish. There also I mentioned you and hundred Romanian poets. I saw through 15 days World Trade Fair in November as also we had a British Council workshop on Poetry on November 27th where my two poems were taken and one was cyclostyled for discussion. Mention of International Academy Mihai Eminescu is very automatic then. It penetrates the ears of the listener: \u201e100 Romanian poets\u201d.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

You mentioned about Iasi’s letter demanding a sculpture of Eminescu. (From Ia\u015fi, on the North of the country \u2013 which country? India or Romania? Did you publish a bust of Eminescu in any of I.A.M.E. Books? Did you? I didn’t create any such thing). You can send him a photocopy of any of the busts of Eminescu. I didn’t meet Mrs. Pratima Kumar. If I can put a statue of Eminescu in our front garden I send you a copy after the same \u2013 among the palm trees. I expect you very much at \u201eIndia in World Literature\u201d in Delhi University in February 1985. But a bust of Eminescu in the garden should be put now. Nana must have come back from Transilvania. Nana is always in touch with me. We have no distance between ourselves when she is a day-light child of India. You are a \u201emidnight\u201d child of India, working late in night on its topics and tell Rushdie I am the \u201eShame\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

I hope Nancy can work a ceramic bust of Eminescu \u2013 lower portion in Green, upper in Lotus flower colour.<\/p>\n

\n

Here alone I.A.M.E. is saddled, in a seal, on his birthday.<\/p>\n

Eminescu Science Poetic meeting with best actor reciting our academy’s chief Mr. Eminescu \u2013 poetess Ana Blandiana of \u201eWhen Trees have eyes\u201d fame \u2013 it is impressive mention of varied subjects we have tried to touch about Indo-Romanian relations in a binding step on a cement platform. Yesterday, I put my records straight, one step ahead about great Romanian sections of my papers to search for all bits of papers, envelopes, chits, notes, letters, magazine clippings, poems, translations, etc. about Romania and yourself and our dear poets from Romania who came in touch with their poetry and unknown faces and common hearts and greatest arts and equal parts in our activities under the International Academy Mihai Eminescu. This I did to write something about us and our works for common knowledge and to present some written note\/paper to the new journals which your department of Modern European Languages has started and sent me two copies -one of each journal for contributing material. I am giving some (European) translations of poems including\u00a0 Romanian poems, including my poem on Eminescu \u201eWhy Eminescu came to us…\u201d (Its Romanian translation printed I never received dear Anca, as it was published. Why didn’t you read this poem or its translation at Eminescu evening to Ana Blandiana). I added three or four lines to this poem retyping it yesterday to make it true international in scope:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201eIt was an Eminescu life given to poets at Versailles –<\/p>\n

And Eminescu is no different or indifferent to Nagasaki<\/p>\n

Eminescu is emancipation of at least South Africa<\/p>\n

A running word for soft speaking Vietnamese<\/p>\n

Or why should Eminescu come to life out of time<\/p>\n

Eminescu is a necessary word and a necessary line<\/p>\n

He has in his abode met all the more Tagore<\/p>\n

Pushkin for a recall and has met Subramanian Bharati<\/p>\n

Eminescu is now a pearl in every oyster of the mother pearl Earth<\/p>\n

To be able to swim on seas at ease<\/p>\n

\n

Or why else should Eminescu come from beyond the oceans swimming towards eternity…!\u201d<\/p>\n

The underlined words in ticked lines are newly added and some stray words removed e.g. \u201elovely\u201d\u00a0 in following:<\/p>\n

\u201eEminescu is the name of Rudraksha bead in every day rosary.\u201d<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Subject: Eminescu bust by sculptor Ion M\u00e2ndrescu & matters of Book\/journals exchange, etc. with Romanian Educational Library & and poetry exchange with individual Romanian poets in Eminescu Year.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your dated nil on 15.4.1989 and I was at International Academy Mihai Eminescu in fact waiting for Ion M\u00e2ndrescu created bust which is however still awaited. If there is some technical difficulty you can get sent its pictures and\/or articles and essays appearing about it in papers, as clippings, for our file and general reference purpose to others who may need.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

You can write to them that you can read a paper on Eminescu in\/and folklore: i.e. Eminescu used folklore themes for his poetry, and has himself become a folklore theme in Romania.<\/p>\n

EMINESCU, A FOLKLORE…<\/strong><\/p>\n

(by Vinod Seth)<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

They call Eminescu a poet, a gem<\/p>\n

I always called him a diamond<\/p>\n

I called him folk-lore<\/p>\n

He, whom we call Eminescu<\/p>\n

Hardly separated from the air anywhere<\/p>\n

A poet called him a tree, an echo<\/p>\n

But he who is as clear as stones in the brook<\/p>\n

Is a smoothened dazzling diamond<\/p>\n

Never from mountain poetry is torn<\/p>\n

Eyes from his Brancusi bird<\/p>\n

Fly high to sit by his bust<\/p>\n

Ion M\u00e2ndrescu, the artist of skill<\/p>\n

Takes away poetry from his crust<\/p>\n

And hangs on him the diamond bullets<\/p>\n

To let him be the martyr in revolution<\/p>\n

Poet he was, but poets don’t die<\/p>\n

Eminescu was the folklore of revolutions<\/p>\n

He hung poetry like muslin cloths<\/p>\n

On his face a smile in store<\/p>\n

Folklore made Eminescu and Eminescu made folklore<\/p>\n

A Hindi, Sanskrit base as before<\/p>\n

Eminescu took a round of whole this globe<\/p>\n

Poetry beheads him, gives him folklore<\/p>\n

Eminescu sings an epic tune to us<\/p>\n

Eminescu we hear on telecom<\/p>\n

Then we ask him May we come in?<\/p>\n

Eminescu say Yes if you glass cut the rocks<\/p>\n

P.S. You will be pleased\u00a0\u00a0 a sculpture (a woman’s head in brass in French Museum’s collection, made by Bruncush, was recently exhibited in the National Gallery of Modern Art, which was the first sculpture I saw from Bruncushi. If more than one busts of Eminescu are sent may be we can give them to some institutions.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

LIBERTIES…<\/strong><\/p>\n

(By Vinod Seth)<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Death in the year of Eminescu’s death<\/p>\n

Better than Romanians speak<\/p>\n

And speak they 25 years ache<\/p>\n

Achile’s heal has kicked Ceausescu’s head<\/p>\n

And with bullets riddled his face<\/p>\n

We wouldn’t dare a return<\/p>\n

While dying he doesn’t look as young<\/p>\n

As much as in publicity photographs<\/p>\n

which his ambassador has to give or gave<\/p>\n

Liberty<\/p>\n

Only you are young<\/p>\n

Noe live with Romanian grace…<\/p>\n

Up and up on this hill is love<\/p>\n

Then on the peak is a flag<\/p>\n

Brancusi has put there a slab<\/p>\n

Romanians call it Eminescu’s grave<\/p>\n

Up on the hill one year is past<\/p>\n

Up on the hill a look down is cast<\/p>\n

Flags fly 80 000 at half mast<\/p>\n

Revolution is like those of the French<\/p>\n

Like Shiva’s dance on Christ’s cross<\/p>\n

They had a thirst for poison, had to quench<\/p>\n

The people had told at last who is the boss<\/p>\n

Christmas said it is Santa-Claus<\/p>\n

Death said no! he has worn my dress<\/p>\n

The only liberty is on peoples’ face.<\/p>\n

Now will you read my poem again<\/p>\n

Yes if my all friends are slain<\/p>\n

And only free self of Romania is again<\/p>\n

This army is friend of the poets<\/p>\n

The army is Eminescu and also his poem<\/p>\n

Eminescu at his death centenary awake<\/p>\n

Has turned the quick most page<\/p>\n

Salutes to people, to Eminescu, to army<\/p>\n

Government’s area TV serial case<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Namastai. By 1995 we will be together 101. The 1 is mine. The rest is fine. A legless and a handless mad one in Eminescu post-ardhanariswara. Mateescu renamed and divorced me in his novel after India, Vulc\u0103nescu used initials (my name prohibited) and Iuga put your dedication as for himself. Part of your autobiography in letters to me I take in this novel (acknowledging it here and at the end like Salman Rushdie).<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Perhaps Umesh Mehta would publish this, for India, Stephen Gill for Canada, Sokka Gakay for Japan \u2013 even for having something from Romania, if not for challenging purpose burried inside and belonging to many agonies between ancestralities and newagers, between indology and creation, as at Christ’s death and after Eminescu’s. About credits of the book ask Pirandello.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Discussion on the Meghadut (Romanian version) which is written by Kalidas and its Romanian translation was done by our teacher (G. Anca). In which discussed with us on the following words: Norul \u2013 clouds. Vestitor \u2013 Messanger (one who gives the message). And he compared these words with the following lines given by M. Eminescu: Trecut-au anii ca nori lungi pe \u015fesuri \/ \u015ei niciodat\u0103 n-or s\u0103 vin\u0103 iar\u0103.<\/p>\n

Quotation: \u201eDumnezeul geniului m-a sorbit din popor cum soarele soarbe un nour din marea de amar\u201d. In this the significance of nour and marea de amar was justified.<\/p>\n

Sergiu Al-George (Indologist): Translator of Gita into Romanian. Classical master pieces and modern Romanian archaic and universal. Mare de amar by Eminescu and Mare de-ntuneric by Lucian Blaga.<\/p>\n

C\u0103linescu, Mircea Eliade (20th century). Famous novels of the different centuries, like R\u0103scoala and Ion by Liviu Rebreanu and Geniu pustiu by M. Eminescu.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

You next ask me about any work I have been doing on Eminescu, and the answer to that, alas, is that I have not really touched on his poetry or prose for many years; not since to Introduction to \u201eLuceaf\u0103rul\u201d I did in Miorita back in 1977, an essay I am sure is in the university Library there in Bucharest.<\/p>\n

\n

The Eminescu celebration seems to be building up considerably. My co-editor of Miorita Charles Carlton has prepared a special supplementary number of the magazine with Tom Perry, and we are cooperating with Brenda Walker of Forest Books (London) in publicizing her new translations of the poet’s works. Other than that, there is really no way to do more here. I am afraid as the years go by, it is more difficult to interest any among my colleagues in Romanian culture.<\/p>\n
