| Summary |
"Van vijf moderne dichters" by P.C. Boutens, Wies Moens, Willem Kloos, Carel Scharten, and Margot Vos is a collection of poetry published in the early 20th century. This anthology showcases the works of five contemporary Dutch poets, presenting a selection of their most representative pieces across multiple generations of poetic expression post-1880. The opening of this anthology features various poems that explore themes of love, nature, and the human experience. The first contributions by P.C. Boutens set a reflective and emotive tone, where love is illustrated as both a source of joy and suffering, conveyed through rich imagery and lyrical language. Other poets included in the collection, such as Wies Moens and Willem Kloos, contribute verses that further delve into personal feelings, existential reflections, and descriptions of the surrounding world, culminating in a vibrant tableau of early 20th-century Dutch poetry. The editors note that despite the collection being curated somewhat randomly, it effectively reflects the voices of its time as they represent a spectrum of thoughts and aesthetics from influential poets of that era.
