Summary/Abstract: “In Ottó Orbán’s posthumous volume the symmetry of irony and pathos is broken down. (…) The ’songs’ are willing to answer only the ultimate questions; their communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” The review takes a look at the last volume of one of the most significant representatives of contemporary Hungarian poetry.
