) statehood, explains Dr. Eldad,
Greenberg predated it, com-
manded it. "His books,” says
Eldad, "made history."
Do not nod at my sorrow — be
you as sorrowful as I.
And again:
Blessed is the sorrow that
leads to anger. . .
and blessed is the anger that
leads to deeds holy and
cruel.
The Jewish youth of the
1930s and 1940s read lines
such as these and understand
that their la was not silken
clothing but rather readiness
for battle. Greenberg's ex-
pressionistic poetry often reads
like Old Testament prose, and
occasionally like intensely
personal romantic lyricism,
but it always takes the reader
on a demanding journey
through Jewish history, as
well as history yet-to-be-made.
Young Uri Zvi's first work
factually describes how he
came to write: sitting with his
feet in a river he was suddenly
unable to breathe; throwing
his head back, he felt a warmth
engulfing his body. Years later
in another poem he reflects:
My God surely cursed me
for he caused me to see the
charred and slaughtered of
my tribe
/
The old and the young, and
the infants, too like sheep in
a butchershop
He commanded my eye to see
and my nostrils to smell
and my hand to hold the
paper, to record it all in a
book.
This is no blessing. My God
cursed me greatly.
Greenberg fought in World
War I in the Polish army and
was impressed by the determi-
nation of the Serbs to be free.
He reached the shores of
Eretzy, Israel in December
1923 and spent three days
walking as a true pilgrim, to
Jerusalem. His early poems in
Israel glorify the pioneers and
kibbutzim, but Greenberg
quickly grew disillusioned
with the local political estab-
lishment.
The rebel had alienated the
Jews of Berlin by warning that
their time was running out; he
had alienated the Yiddishists
by switching, at his mother's
urging, to writing in Hebrew;
and now he alienated the
Labor movement by criticizing
what he saw as • the "compla-
cency" of its leaders in the face
of Arab attacks.
After the Arab pogroms of
1929 the poet went to see the
bodies of the murdered Jews.
"He did things like that," says
Aliza. "In one body he counted
80 wounds. Imagine, to stand
there and count!" But the sen-
sitive poet felt this was his ob-
ligation.
Greenberg seemed to live
simultaneously in the time of
Abraham, King David, Titus,
the present and the future. Nor
did he separate between the
imagination and the rational.
