Interview with Sándor Weöres
How could you sum up what your poetry says about humankind's history?
Well, ... it is a sensitive question ... because I am saying that we should leave behind history as it is... we should enter a post-historical era ... there won't be any peace and quiet unless we do... what's more, with nuclear weapons and the like ... humankind will burn up the ground from under its own feet before even having the chance to reach the adulthood and peace of a post-historical era...
But how can humankind make the transition to a post-historical era if it still retains its old nature?
It seems -- there's no way of doing this -- and that's the problem.
And is there hope ... that it might still be possible?
... well ... we can hope for anything ...
You also have this hope ... well, what else could 'communistic man', who you often talk about, mean?
When I wrote these things down I was perhaps still hoping it was possible ... today at least this hope has become very faint
Why?
Because ... man is only able to exist within the category of the historical... which seems to erode the very ground from under him... a very difficult situation.
