- Filip_Shiroka abstract "Filip Shiroka (1859–1935) was a classical Rilindja (Albanian: Renaissance) poet whose verse was first to become known in later years.He was born and raised in Shkodër and educated there by the Franciscans. Among his teachers was poet Leonardo De Martino (1830-1923), whose influence is omnipresent in Shiroka's verse. His earliest verse publication, All'Albania, all'armi, all'armi! (\"To Albania, to arms, to arms!\"), was a rather weak nationalist poem on the defense of Ulcinj, which was written in Italian and printed in the Osservatore Cattolico (Catholic Observer) of Milan in 1878. Like many Albanian intellectuals of the late 19th century, Shiroka spent much of his life in exile. In 1880, after the defeat of the League of Prizren, he emigrated to the Middle East, and settled in Egypt and Lebanon where he worked as an engineer in railway construction.Shiroka's nationalist, satirical and meditative verse in Albanian was written mostly from 1896 to 1903. It appeared in journals such as Faik Konitza's Albania, the Albanian periodicals published in Egypt, and the Shkodër religious monthly Elçija i Zemers t'Jezu Krisctit (\"The Messenger of the Sacred Heart\"). Shiroka, who also used the pseudonyms Geg Postrippa and Ulqinaku, is the author of at least sixty poems, three short stories, articles and several translations, in particular of religious works for Catholic liturgy. His verse collection, Zâni i zêmrës, Tirana, 1933, (\"The voice of the heart\"), which was composed at the turn of the century, was published by Ndoc Nikaj two years before Shiroka's death in Beirut.Shiroka's verse, inspired by early-19th-century French and Italian romantic poets such as Alfred de Musset (1810-1857), Alfonse de Lamartine (1790-1869), and Tommaso Grossi (1790-1853), whom he had read as a young man in Shkodër, does not cover any unusual thematic or lexical range, nor is it all of literary quality, though the latter assertion is no doubt valid for most Rilindja poets. Shiroka is remembered as a deeply emotional lyricist, and as one of linguistic purity, who was obsessed with his own fate and that of his distant homeland. Recurrent in his work, there is the theme of nostalgia for the country of his birth.Be off, swallowFarewell, for spring has come,Be off, swallow, on your flight,From Egypt to other lands,Searching over hill and plainBe off to Albania on your flight,Off to Shkodër, my native town!Convey my greetingsTo the old house where I was born,And greet the lands around itWhere I spent my early years;Be off thither on your flight,And greet my native town!...And when you come to Fush' e Rmajit,Swallow, stop there and take your rest;In that land of sorrow are the gravesOf the mother and father who raised me;Weep in your exquisite voiceAnd lament them with your song!For ages I have not been to AlbaniaTo attend those graves;You, swallow, robed in black,Weep there on my behalf,With that exquisite voice of yoursLament them with your song!".
