Summary/Abstract: This article is a kind of commentary on the poetic collection inspired by a tragic event. In Torun a few hours after their wedding, during the wedding feast the bridegroom died. These poems not only describes this event, but try also to find comfort in pain. Schober, starting with the individual situation, also refers to the universal situation of each man, who has experienced both love and death. Thus, poems participate in the current poetry of “difficult humanism”, while remaining in line with the literary traditions and canons.
