Analysis (analise) of poem
1. die aand stuur sy roofvoëls uit Figure of speech
in die taai donker (beeldspraak): personifikasie.
“die aand” is personified as
something that can “send
(stuur)” birds of prey out into
the dark (donker).
“aand” + “donker” = end
(einde) of the day (dag),
repetition (herhaling) of this
idea creates (skep) a gloomy
(neerdrukkende) feeling
(gevoel).
“sy” = the use (gebruik) of the
possessive (besitlike) pronoun
(voornaamwoord) indicate
(dui aan) that the birds of prey
(roofvoëls) belong (behoort)

, to the dark (die donker). This
creates (skep) a sense (sin) of
power (mag) that the dark
yields (beskik oor).
“roofvoëls” = plural
(meervoud). Also a metaphor
(metafoor) symbolizing (wat
simboliseer) the uneasy
(ongemaklike) feeling
(gevoel) that Sunday
evenings bring about, as well
as (asook) being the feelings
(gevoelens) of depression
(depressie) that a person can
experience (ervaar) about the
coming (opkomende) week.
Birds of prey (roofvoëls) create
(skep) the impression (indruk)
of something threatening
(bedreigend) since
(aangesien) these birds attack
(val aan) their prey (prooi)
when they are usually
(gewoonlik) at their most
(mees) vulnerable (weerloos);
therefore
(dus/daarom/derhalwe) one
can see that Sunday evenings
are not described (beskryf) as
something pleasant
(aangenaam) or something to
look forward to (om na uit te
sien). It is as though (asof)
these birds prey (maak prooi
van) on people who do not
like the feeling Sunday
evenings bring.
“taai (sticky)” = gives an
unpleasant (onaangename)
impression (indruk/idee) of
the dark (donker). It could
(kan) also imply (impliseer)
that the person feels “stuck
