RT Article T1 Totius se siening van die Calvinistiese digter as siener.* JF Koers VO 48 IS 2 SP 79 OP 92 A1 Deventer, Susanne van LA Undetermined YR 1983 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1936637375 AB In his lecture, De dichter als ziener (1911) Totius sees the Calvinist poet as a prophet and a seer who sees the invisible, who discovers profound truths in the mundance, everyday reality. Any object may be used as material, and the poet has to make a penetrating study of his surroundings. The deeper and more profound insights that the poet is able to record must be conveyed to his fellowment. The resulting work of art will then ultimately reflect the Divine in which it had its origin.
