Summary/Abstract: The following interpretation of the poems of Dobromir Tonev and Georgi Rupchev was provoked both by the close in time debut of the two poets and by the presence of similarities in the transforming of the illusory into a theme of their poetry. The article refers not only to the occasions of direct mentioning of illusions within the chosen texts, but also to everything that addresses the various “discrepancies” between the perceived notions and reality, as well as the ruptures resulting from the awareness of those discrepancies. The text also examines the different connections of the illusory as a theme in the poetry of D. Tonev and G. Rupchev with questions of moral and ethical nature, with visions of childhood and naivety, with dreaminess, with having doubts, with the feeling of insurmountability.
