Summary/Abstract: I do not know of any other Serbian poet being as much in the good graces of the Serbian language as Matija Bećković. I do not know of any other poet who has performed as striking linguistic twists and acrobatics as Bećković has, managing at the same to remain recognizable and one of a kind, while paving ways that had never been probed by poets before and apart from his endeavour.
