[00:00.89]I feel that this award

[00:02.15]was not made to me as a man,

[00:03.94]but to my work

[00:05.46]a life's work in the agony

[00:06.77]and sweat of the human spirit,

[00:08.86]not for glory

[00:09.73]and least of all for profit

[00:11.40]but to create out of the materials

[00:12.98]of the human spirit something

[00:14.45]which did not exist before.

[00:16.34]So this award is only mine in trust.

[00:19.76]It will not be difficult

[00:21.64]to find a dedication

[00:22.81]for the money part of it commensurate

[00:24.60]with the purpose

[00:25.47]and significance of its origin.

[00:27.51]But I would like to do the same

[00:28.99]with the acclaim too

[00:30.31]by using this moment

[00:31.32]as a pinnacle from

[00:32.34]which I might be listened to

[00:33.96]by the young men and women

[00:35.33]already dedicated

[00:36.30]to the same anguish and travail,

[00:38.49]among whom is already

[00:39.87]that one who will some day stand

[00:42.31]where I am standing.

[00:43.88]Our tragedy today is a general

[00:45.67]and universal physical fear

[00:47.39]so long sustained by now

[00:49.22]that we can even bear it.

[00:50.59]There are no longer problems of the spirit.

[00:53.03]There is only the question

[00:54.46]When will I be blown up?

[00:55.83]Because of this

[00:57.00]the young man or woman

[00:58.12]writing today

[00:58.88]has forgotten the problems

[01:00.25]of the human heart

[01:01.37]in conflict with itself

[01:03.00]which alone can make good writing

[01:05.33]because only that is worth writing about,

[01:07.67]worth the agony and the sweat.

[01:09.86]He must learn them again.

[01:11.27]He must teach himself

[01:12.36]that the basest of all things

[01:13.73]is to be afraid

[01:15.10]and, teaching himself that,

[01:16.94]forget it forever

[01:18.05]leaving no room

[01:19.12]in his workshop for anything

[01:20.59]but the old verities

[01:21.76]and truths of the heart,

[01:23.38]the universal truths

[01:25.11]lacking which any story

[01:26.48]is ephemeral and doomed

[01:28.11]love and honor

[01:29.18]and pity and pride

[01:30.14]and compassion and saCRIfice.

[01:33.13]Until he does so

[01:34.52]he labors under a curse.

[01:36.25]He writes not of love but of lust,

[01:38.54]of defeats in

[01:39.07]which nobody loses anything of value,

[01:41.42]of victories without hope

[01:43.16]and, worst of all

[01:44.02]without pity or compassion.

[01:45.90]His grief grieves on no universal bones,

[01:48.40]leaving no scars.

[01:50.03]He writes not of the heart

[01:51.15]but of the glands.

[01:53.08]Until he relearns these things,

[01:54.91]he will write as though

[01:56.17]he stood among

[01:56.94]and watched the end of man.

[01:58.76]I decline to accept the end of man.

[02:00.85]It is easy enough to say

[02:02.22]that man is immortal simply

[02:03.99]because he will endure

[02:05.09]that when the last dingdong

[02:06.63]of doom has clanged

[02:07.95]and faded from the last worthless rock

[02:09.88]hanging tideless

[02:10.85]in the last red and dying evening,

[02:12.92]that even then

[02:14.20]there will still be one more sound:

[02:15.97]that of his puny inexhaustible voice,

[02:17.80]still talking.

[02:19.32]I refuse to accept this.

[02:21.00]I believe that man

[02:21.71]will not merely endure:

[02:23.04]he will prevail.

[02:24.12]He is immortal

[02:25.29]not because he alone among creatures

[02:27.37]has an inexhaustible voice

[02:28.68]but because he has a soul

[02:30.56]a spirit capable of compassion

[02:32.96]and saCRIfice and endurance.

[02:35.38]The poet's, the writer's duty

[02:37.11]is to write about these things.

[02:38.79]It is his privilege to help man endure

[02:40.57]by lifting his heart

[02:42.34]by reminding him of the courage

[02:43.81]and honor and hope and pride

[02:45.39]and compassion and pity and saCRIfice

[02:47.68]which have been the glory of his past.

[02:49.96]The poet's voice need not merely

[02:51.85]be the record of man

[02:53.27]it can be one of the props

[02:54.64]the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
