    CHAIRIL ANWAR
    •He awakened other
    Indonesian writers to an
    awareness of their literary
    capabilities
    •His humor, active
    involvement with political
    and patriotic issues made
    him an important force as
    well as an artistic icon
    TO GADIS (STANZA 1)
    Amidst
    The green leaves
    The light and open fields,
    Innocent children just able to crawl,
    Sweet singing birds,
    the fresh invigorating rain.
    TO GADIS (STANZA 2)
    A young nation rises that can just say “I”
    And then
    The crisp, dry wind, the scorched earth,
    The swirling sand blown back,
    The evacuated land,
    We are wedged in
    And forced to shrink, grow small,
    Able to move a step only now and then
    TO GADIS (STANZA 3)
    Let us free ourselves, our souls, become
    A winging dove,
    Fly
    And know the fields without meeting and without
    The consummation of flight
    TO GADIS
