Summary/Abstract: A wanderer by nature, leaping from one instance to another, the milosian man reaches, without any doubt or manifest desire of going back, the border of narcissism, as the only certainty left is to take refuge in oneself, within the supreme ego. The milosian narcissism is announced by the very first poems, where the modifier my (for years) would recur obsessively, drawing the required attention upon himself. The stages of his poetic journey have modulated the milosian self-centredness, giving it a specific dimension, discarding the collapses into the area of frivolous vanities, and building a system in which the poetic self-pride transforms into an autarchic rigour, inevitably leading to the ultimate image, comprehensive of, and levelling any others, that of the fall into the mirror.
