His study on exile and return from exile first of all sets the major issue of the loss of the native language. If all reasons for exile can be summed up in the call of the sea, those for the return from exile are best epitomised in the title of the prose poem, “You are at the bottom of my mind”. Finally, Crichton Smith’s answer to the aporia of the departing island is his own return ad patres, as developed in his last collection of poems, The Leaf and the Marble. Cette étude traite surtout des divers aspects du retour d’exil que Iain Crichton Smith a explorés : des émigrés rentrant du Canada aux soldats revenant de guerre, des employés quittant les Basses Terres pour vivre leur retraite dans les îles ou les vallées gaélophones de leur enfance aux jeunes gens partis après leurs études et qui s’aperçoivent, à leur retour, de la difficulté à s’adapter parce que ces lieux, aussi, ont changé pendant leurs années d’absence. Pour eux tous, le retour d’exil est un autre exil.C’est à l’aide de l’aporie de « The Departing Island » que Crichton Smith ose retourner la perception habituelle de la réalité. Son analyse de l’exil et du retour d’exil développe d’abord la question de la langue maternelle que l’on abandonne. Si toutes les raisons d’émigrer peuvent se résumer à l’appel de la mer, celles du retour se concentrent dans le titre du poème en prose : « You are at the bottom of my mind ». En fin de compte, la réponse que fait Crichton Smith à l’aporie de l’île en partance se trouve dans son dernier recueil de poèmes, The Leaf and the Marble, où il décrit son retour progressif ad patres. |
