Abstract
The love that moves the sun and the other stars – Poetic transcendence, stirred to live the multifaceted life: The oeuvre of T.T. Cloete may be characterised, among other possibilities, by a sensitive perception of a mystic interconnectedness in creation. This interconnectedness is developed and interpreted in many ways. The poetic potential of the female (Woman), in different forms, is one of the central themes being activated. In a recently published de luxe publication, Uit die wit lig van my land gesny, the poet focuses on the creative role of woman in the grand act of creation, identifying her role as a kind of hair-spring of poetic inspiration and design. Woman, alternatively Anna Perenna, the Universal Mother, is not only bearer of an embryo being transformed unto spirit, but she also acts as a source of light (’sun woman’), actualising cosmic insight. It is part of the interwoven patterns characterising humankind’s place in a hologram of life. The poet compares these poetic patterns to the weaving of Persian rugs. The ancient forms inscribed in the memories of ancestors are communicated to the next generation. Poetic transcendence is developed as a process through which a wealth of colours of life and death is inspired by individual as well as universal femininity.

Dit raak meervoudige vorms en patrone waarin die mens ingeweef is in die universele hologram van lewe
In dié verkenning word digterlike transendering ontgin as ’n proses waarin die kleurvolheid van lewe en dood in en deur individuele sowel as universele vroulikheid geïnspireer word
Summary
Die liefde wat die son beweeg en die ander sterre: Digterlike transendering – tot die vermenigvuldigde lewe ontroer. Alternatively Anna Perenna, the Universal Mother, is bearer of an embryo being transformed unto spirit, but she acts as a source of light (’sun woman’), actualising cosmic insight It is part of the interwoven patterns characterising humankind’s place in a hologram of life. In ’n omvattende verkenning van sy eie digterlike motiverings in die sleutelwerk Die ander een is ek, wat ek wil tipeer as digterlike transparante, wys die digter, T.T. Cloete (2003) op die volgende: Dit gaan om die geheim dat ons, die mens, wat in die eerste plek liggaam is, dinge kan maak soos woorde, en met woorde maak ons weer gedigte, en met die maak van gedigte neem ons besit van ander mense, maar ook van klippe, selfs van sterre en raak ons bevry van ons beperkinge, nie net deur die skryf van gedigte nie, maar ook deur die lees daarvan. Dit is verder gestimuleer deur die twee genoemde publikasies Uit die wit lig van my land gesny en Die ander een is ek
