Možda spava

by Vladislav Petković DIS

Dis (1880 - 1917) predstavlja paradigmu tumačenja i ocenjivanja poezije u književnoj kritici. Od Skerlićeve smrtonosne presude početkom 20. veka Dis se do početka 21. veka, zahvaljujući svojoj snažnoj pesničkoj pojavi i ljubavi i imaginaciji tumača, uzdigao do jednog od najvećih srpskih pesnika... Uz ovaj izbor štampani su negativni i pozitivni ogledi Skerlića i Miodraga Pavlovića.

About the author

Владислав Петковић DIS was a Serbian impressionist poet. He introduced irrational and subconscious images into Serbian lyric poetry. One of his most famous poems is "Perhaps She Sleeps" ("Možda spava"). During his lifetime he worked as a teacher and a war reporter during the Balkan Wars. Petković chose his appellation "Dis" as a repetition of the middle syllable of his first name (Vla-DIS-lav), but also as the name of the Roman god of the underworld. He was a frequent evening visitor to the Belgrade's kafanas in Skadarlija and elsewhere where he would drink and compose new verses at the same time.
Near the end of the First World War he traveled from France to Greece, but the ship he had boarded was intercepted by a German submarine and sunk. The manner in which he died earned him a reputation of a “cursed poet,” since one of his well-known poems is titled “The Drowned Souls” ("Utopljene duše").

Ja sad nemam svoju dragu, i njen ne znam glas;
Ne znam mjesto na kom živi ili počiva;
Ne znam zašto nju i san mi java pokriva;
Možda spava, i grob tužno njeguje joj stas.
Ja sad nemam svoju dragu, i njen ne znam glas.
