Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to contribute to the findings of the research into the Baudelaire–Ady impact history. In doing so, it examines the parallels between their love poetry, which have in reception often been mentioned but have only been poorly supported by detailed comparative analysis. First it tackles the ways of manifesting emotional and mental ambivalence, also as one of the defining features of life awareness of modernity. In the meantime next to questions of the supposed effects, it also touches on the differences between the attitudes and conception of poetry of the two poets, which can also be detected in their love poetry. Thus the subject structure of their love poems is also compared, which aids us to understand the way Ady re-interprets Baudelaire’s motifs and aestetics.
