Nijhoff, Martinus

    0.01 sec.

Nijhoff, Martinus (1894–1953)

Dutch poet. His highly evocative symbolism and simple language powerfully convey the dualism caused by his reverence for humanity despite his repudiation of its materialism. His two longer poems, Awater 1934 and Het uur U/Zero Hour 1942, the titles of which carry overtones of Everyman and the Last Judgement, suggest the individual's quest for spiritual values in an urban world.
