Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the analysis of the poetry book Helena nosí ľaliu (1935), which should be understood as an important milestone in the poetics of Rudolf Dilong where a poetic-methodical turn towards more modern artistic endeavours occurs. At the same time, the deep-motivic basis of his work was not modernized but paradoxically it was religion that served as an energetic source of poetic modernization. A deeper insight into it can serve as a useful basis for understanding the entire poetry book, as religious motifs are anchored in the used symbols and guarantee their validity. The high level of symbolization can also be seen as an organic part of avant-garde poetics, the goal of which is to interrupt the causality of empirical reality by rejecting the dominance of rationality, emphasizing the role of sensory perception, thus opening the space for the realization of Dilong’s desire for escape to a “happier” alternative reality.
