Idealizam u poeziji Vesne Parun i Blage Dimitrove
Idealism in Poetry by Vesna Parun and Blaga Dimitrova

Summary/Abstract: The paper provides a comparative analysis of selected poems by Vesna Parun and Blaga Dimitrova, Croatian and Bulgarian poets, respectively, from the same period and with somewhat similar and somewhat different poetics; hence, the analysis is comparative and contrastive at the same time. The main focus of the analysis is the uncompromising idealism, the insistence on the absolute, dealing with the negativity, and openness to the unending work of desire as the main characteristics of their lyrical subject. Their idealism is usually articulated by traditional symbols such as stars, birds and the idealised topos of childhood and nature, with love as their obsessive theme. Such constellation is the basis for ecstatic projections and the tragic decomposition of lyrical subjects. Ecstatic projections are related to self-transcendence through love and the idealistic self-identification with nature. The uncompromising tragic self-destruction is what the subject chooses so as to preserve the ideal from entropy.
