Summary/Abstract: Structured on the antinomies of a nature that expresses inner contrasts, George Bacovia’s poetry reveals the entire range of poetic methods and techniques featured by Symbolism. But Symbolism passes, by the styling and crispening of sensitiveness, through the austerity of the landscape and turns into Expressionism, as it reveals the artistic valences of one of the most genuine Romanian poets. An „error” placed in an „wrong world” , the being has the premonition of downfall, as well as the clear awareness of damnation, of alienation from the self and the world. Alienation, evil, neurosis, reification – are the obsessive thematic markers of this poetry that has a mournful background, painted in the colours of melancholy and desperation.
