***[ma alles noor kuid ühest-teisest väsind]

ma alles noor kuid ühest-teisest väsind
veel suurivaevu talun nüridust
ja olen vältind südamele käsi
nii mõnda eluaegset üritust

ka doomino ei paku mulle lusti
sest ma ei tea kes ründab laua alt
neis kivides näen hauakive musti
mis pandud maha juba jäädavalt

siis linnuäris märkan papagoisid
ja äkki ehmun see on tuttav pilt
ma nagu unes ütlen tere poisid
no tere Juhan kostab riiulilt

see kõik on võigas kuigi jutu käigus
ma juba jõuan mõtteid koondada
ja hõikan müüjat: kus on inimõigus
kes sai nad papagoideks moondada

kultuurivestlus algab võre vahelt
ma kuulan hinge kinni pidades
te minge sinna küsige neilt kahelt
mis mõte on mu värsiridades

Juhan Viiding (1948–1995) was a professional actor in the Estonian Drama Theatre, acting in several important roles (Peer Gynt, Hamlet etc), wrote film scripts, staged and played in films as well. And, he was one of the most important and most playful poets in the 20th century in Estonia, publishing his most well-known works under the pen-name Jüri Üdi. Jüri Üdi was the principal mould for poetic language for a whole generation; he revolutionised the language of Estonian poetry.

Juhan Viiding’s poetry was born of the conditions of historical injustice, stagnation of society and censorship. Allegory and reading between the lines are two keywords reading his poetry. He debuted semi-underground with The Song of a Realistic Angel (1968). In his lines – as well as on the stage – he was light, with lambent wit, radiant, at the same time painfully serious and tense, fighting for the personal freedom of everybody.

His expressive manner of reading and singing his poetry made him a living legend. He is the father of Elo Viiding, one of the most interesting poets of contemporary Estonia.
