Slavisa-pavlovic Quote by Slavisa Pavlovic
““Pesnik se ne postaje, pesnik se rađa. On je sposoban da vidi nevidljivo, oseti neosetljivo, primeti neprimetno, zamisli nestvarno i naposletku ga pretvori u stvarnost. Pesnik nikada ne može biti u potpunosti shvaćen; on ne vidi danas ili sutra; njemu se to čini stranim, čudnim, iako su za pesnike čuda retka. On ne gleda ni na budućnost kao drugi ljudi, već poput Tvorca, sve posmatra kroz prizmu večnosti, vezujući celokupnu istoriju čovečansta u jedan jedini trenutak. Pesnik - to je glasnik budućnosti i donosilac objašnjenja iz prošlosti. Njemu je interval vremena stran; on broji osećanja, traga za novim, nesebično se trudi da poezijom predstavi stvarnost onakvom kakva je, ne kako je drugi vide. Ta je stvarnost ispunjena osećanjima, snagom, radošću, pokličima pobede ili neretko tugom. Ali, kod njega ni tuga nije obična ili krajnja. Odista, samo je pesnik sposoban da tugu pretvori u slavu.””

Source Poetry: Serbian literary tradition, early 21st century
A poet is inherently gifted, perceiving the unseen, feeling the unfelt, and transforming imagination into reality, yet remains incompletely understood, viewing time as eternity and linking humanity's history into a single moment, acting as a messenger of future and interpreter of past.
In simple terms: Poets uniquely sense and create, bridging past and future with emotion and insight.
