Summary/Abstract: Sándor Weöres, one of the major 20th century Hungarian poets used the symbolism connected to water and to the sea in several of his works. Living in a country where experiencing the sea was problematic, marine references of Sándor Weöres seem to be allusions to the Western literary heritage on several occasions. The article analyses the contexts of these allusions and the reflections concerning the rare occasions when Sándor Weöres’ had the opportunity to travel on the sea.
