About Eugène Nielen Marais, b2c4d4e6f3g1h13
South African Lawyer, naturalist, poet and writer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Marais
Eugene Nielen Marais
(1871-1936)
He is usually regarded as the herald of the true Afrikaans poetry. His "Winternag" was used as a symbol of the impact of Afrikaans writing. He did not write war poems, but his sombre moods, loneliness and yearning for death, his compassion with child suffering, nature and its creatures and moments of optimism are reflected in his work. He is discussed fully later in this series. see http://myfundi.co.za/e/Afrikaans_poetry_I:_First_twenty_years#Eugen...
