LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Honors
YEHUDA AMICHAI
Hebrew poetry wai honored by the
Library of Congress, when one of Israel’s
outstanding poets, Yehuda Amichai, was
recently invited to give a reading from
Us works. Following this presentation,
! Mr. Amicbai was the guest of honor at
i a.Tea tendered by Mrs. Nixon upon this
ettraonlinaiy occasion.
Alter his appearance in Washington,
Mr. Amichai went on a coast-to-coast
tour to offer recitals of his poetry at
America's leading universities. The cli
max of that tour, sponsored by the Jew
ish Agency’s Department of Education
and Culture, came at the University of
California in Berkeley, where, in spite of
the student strike, an audience of many .
hundreds thronged fo hear him.
Amichai, born in Wurzburg, Germany
in 1924, lives in Jerusalem ever since his
family settled there in 1936. His poems
use rhythms and idiom* of daily speech
and are steeped in biblical associations
and post-biblical liturgy. In addition to
five books of poetry, Amichai’s creativity
encompasses a bode of stories, a novel,
and three radio plays.
JERUSALEM
On a rooftop of the Old City
there is washing on a line
in the day’s last light:
A white sheet of my enemy
a towel of my enemy
to wipe sweat from his forehead.
In the sky of die Old City
there is a kite.
Bat I cannot see the boy
holding it sit the line's end
because of the high waU.
We have many flags flying,
so have they,
to make us believe that they
were happy, to
make them believe we were.
