Matari


And open wide the hymns you hide
You'll find renown while people frown
At the things that you say
But say what you'll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people 'round your head
Who say everything's been said
And the movement in your brain
Sends you out into the rain
- Nick Drake
Looking at the things behind the sun
from western to southern part of Java island

Justifikasi

"Aku tidak butuh tokoh nyata untuk kukagumi," dia menjawab sederhana. "Sebesar-besarnya tokoh hidup, dia tetap manusia. Kita harus menyediakan maaf untuk kemanusiaannya. Bagiku memaafkan tokohku berarti menurunkan dia satu anak tangga. Tidak bisa. Dia tidak lagi di puncak kagumku."

Kembang Manggis (1985: 30)
