"Look. You are joking. "
And he said so

Suddenly she stopped.
sHe encountered the scars on the body of the hero.
On the left side.
In the two palms.
In the two footprints.
Maria zaitun quietly said:
"I know who you are."
Then tell him to view his eyes.
The man nodded his head: "Yes. Ya. "

He stiffly frozen.
No longer dared to accuse me.
I'm not afraid anymore.
And grief has gone quiet.
I entered paradise while dancing
My heart and eat apples.
Maria zaitun my name.
Bride is a whore and me.)

The meaning of “song of the swan”
poetry
Overall,
the swan song is a work containing the ideas
of this work ,clearly communicated through some things.prostitues,pimps,syphilis, doctors,angels,sacristan, priest,church, sin, and men with similar characteristics to
Jesus humanity in the form of criticism. The purpose of
this work are very clear in his criticism
of religious practice in this case, the teaching is
good in religion is practiced differently in people's lives. Criticism of
religion as well as criticism of humanity within.
If
the diseased syphilis in this works is the driver, it will be different story ,
as well as its meaning , but the diseased syphilis in this work is a prostitute
who was rather old and not pretty anymore . thus , through the eyes of religion
, syphilis is a disease caused the sin of adultery , of course on the
assumption that prostitutes suffer from syphilis so it look disgusting from
this human tragedy begins . all persons , including doctors,sacristan , and the
priest did the rejection of maria zaitun .pimps and doctors recommended denial
on the basis that she no longer has the money once the future . humans are no
longer useful – like parasit. While the sacristan and priest recommended denial
because maria zaitun is prostitute who almost died of syphilis (the sin really
damned).
The only one who received maria zaitun is man
who has similar traits of jesus . this is a serious blow to the apparatur of
religion, what not .. just accept and forgive maria zaitun considered cursed by
jesus , why are humans glorifies of jesus is rejected ? this work seemed to
invite readers to reflect on human values , teaching of love neighbor is often
from the practice of humanity. That’s an outline of the ideas contained in
works of swan song .

figurative language
•
Simile (comparison), as in the saying: you fiercely, like a tigress, such as
the cow was giving birth, she walked with a straddle, her face thin and green,
like a dry grapefruit, ulcer. Syphilis. Women. Like glass, the man bent to kiss
her mouth, she was like drinking coconut water, she never felt the kiss like
that.
.•
metaphor (comparison with not using the word comparison) as Her friends turned
away, her body burned syphilis, the Sun continues to burn, (sun like fire), she
gave up, with eyes closed, she was sailing.
•
metaphor metonymy (metaphor with a substitute name), like the doctor at least she
should Salvarzan. (Salvarzan is as a substitute for syphilis medication, which
is a type of penicillin). Also mentions: "Santo petrus!" For a
replacement shock like oh my god, Astafirullah to express surprise or be an
unusual occurrence (in the Muslim tradition).
•
While the personification of style (such as likening the human body), among
others, used the expression: guardian angel paradise, His face was firm and
envy (likening such as human angels who had the form), Insects bersuiran ,
river water hit the rocks (as if time had a foot of water)
.alleghori (will figurative painting to express something
with a symbol), such as: The man was crossing times, He is well-built and
handsome ,curly hair and hir eyes wide, her heart pounding , sHe knew the man
like it ... (for the Christians, figure the image of this kind can be
imagined), then the picture at the end of the poem, such as: Maria zaitun kiss all
over his body, she suddenly stopped,she encountered the scars on the body of
the hero. On the left hull, in the two palms, soles of the feet in two, I know
who you are. There is clearly a symbolic otherwise wound in the stomach, two
palms, the two footprints that will implicitly declare crucifixion wounds
suffered by Jesus.
•
hyperbole (exaggerated explanation), such as: a sudden people get out and cover
their nose, she burst out angrily, (anger as objects that can explode like a
bomb) sHe was in pain when their clothes off, because her dress ulcers closely
in her armpit (to explain the pain is very severe, so her dress stuck full of
pus in the wound). sHe waited while blingsatan and hot (blingsatan to state
anxiety), also in the expression, the sun continues to burn (to declare shining
with heat, equivalent to a burning flame).
