Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with some reflection modes concerning time, as well as its formation or figuration. Through the creation of several poets (namely A. de Lamartine, Ch. Baudelaire, J. Vrchlický, P. Verlaine) it analyses and compares their poetics of saisons, especially the represented meanings of autumn and of its manifestations and phenomena (e.g.: reminiscences, resignations, sorrows — vapours, hazes, dry and falling leaves).
