Úrtak
Evnið í hesi grein er lað serliga málsniðið í yrkingum
Regin Dahls. Yrkingar Regins eru skaldamálsligt ný-
brot, og hetta nýbrotið er fyritreyt hanSara fyri at yrkja
í tí rákinum, sum tók seg upp eftir aldaskiftið í bundna
skaldskapinum. I hesum nýbroti skapast poetiskt mál,
sum er persónligt og eyðkennir einstaklingin heldur enn
eitt rák. Fyrimyndir Regins eru tey skaldini, sum fyrst
gjørdu seg leys av tjóðskaparliga songskaldskapinum og
sóu yrkingar sum sjálvstøðug listaverk, J.FI.O.Djurhuus,
H.A.Djurhuus og Christian Matras. Teir hava, hvør á sfn
hátt, havt ávirkan á Regin Dahl.
Skaldamál Regins skapast í støðuga samskifti hansara
við ta grund, sum er løgd niður í hann, hann er í teirri
serstøðu sum barn at fáa dygga uppaling í føroyskum
máli og mentunararvi. Samstundis fær skaldamálið
innblástur frá og treytast av bókmentaliga modernaða
umhvørvinum, sum skaldið livir og ferðast í dag og dag-
liga.
I greinini verður orðið moderna nýtt í staðin fyri orðið
modemistiskt. Orðið modernistiskt verður skilmarkað
ymiskliga nú á døgum, og spurnartekin verður í heilum
sett við tann stýrandi og ónemandi týdningin, sum tað
í hálva øld hevur havt. Orðið moderna hevur víðan
týdning, men verður her nýtt um tað, sum í samljóði við
skaldsligar rembingar í síni tíð gongur nýggjar leiðir.
Abstract
The subjekt of this article is the unique style of language
in Regin Dahl’s poems. Regin’s poems find new literary
ground, which again is essential in his effort to compose
poetry within the literary trend , that arose after the turn
of the century. In this effort he creates a personal, poetic
language, which accentuates hint as an individual rather
than the trend that he is a part of. Regin’s models are
the poets, J.H.O.Djurhuus, H.A.Djurhuus and Chrístian
Matras, who were the first to distance themselves from
the nationalistic song writing, and who considered
poetry as individual pieces of art. These poets, each in
their own way, have all influenced Regin Dahl.
The language in Regin's poetry is created in his
constant interaction with the very essence of his being,
since he is in the unique position to have had a solid
education, as a child, in both the Faroese language as
well as cultural heritage. At the same time, the language
in his poetry is also inspired by and dependent on the
modern literary environment tliat surrounds him in his
everyday life.
In the article the word modern is used in stead of the
word modernistic. Today the latter is subject to various
interpretations, and the governing and infeasable
position it has held in poetry for half a century is
frequently questioned. The word modern has a wide
range of meanings, but is here identified witli what finds
new ground in close interaction with the literary trends
of its own time.
