LYRICAL POETRY ABOUT WATER: ON TWO RIVERS — ON GOLD, POISON AND UNDERGROUND STREAM

Author(s): Jovan M. Delić
Subject(s): Poetry, Serbian Literature, Theory of Literature
Published by: Матица српска
Keywords: Lyrical poetry; Water; On two rivers;

Summary/Abstract: The paper first follows the motives of two homeland rivers, the Pek and the Tisza. Both rivers carry a gilding of childhood and homeland, but the attitude to them is resolved dramatically: the Pek was transformed into an underground stream, and the Tisza became a poisoned river and an announcer of the coming Apocalypse. Then the paper follows Raickovic’s attitude to water, his „lyrical poetry about water” and establishes the polysemy of this element which in Raickovic’s poetry becomes one of the central motives with a broad spectrum of suggestive symbolic meaning.
