Augustin 'Tin' Ujević is considered to be one of the greatest Croatian poets of all times.

Ujević was born in Vrgorac, a small town in the Dalmatian hinterland, and grew up in what were then provincial towns of Imotski and Makarska. He completed classical gymnasium in Split and moved to Zagreb to study Croatian language and literature, classical philology, philosophy and aesthetics. This turbulent part of his life was marked by the bohemian milieu. His mentor was the central figure of Croatian early modernism, Antun Gustav Matoš, whom he later denounced. Briefly embroiled in the activities of Yugoslav nationalism (1912–1916), Ujević left politics for good, spending the rest of his life as a quintessential bohemian wanderer, residing and blas ...more

“Ne ljubi manje koji mnogo ćuti,
on mnogo traži, i on mnogo sluti,
i svoju ljubav (kao parče kruva
za gladne zube) on brižljivo čuva
za zvijezde u visini,
za srca u daljini”

“Pati bez suze, živi bez psovke,
i budi mirno nesretan.
Tašte su suze, a jadikovke
ublažit neće gorki san.

Podaj se pjanom vjetru života,
pa nek te vije bilo kud;
pusti ko listak nek te mota
u ludi polet vihor lud.

Leti ko lišće što vir ga vije,
za let si, dušo stvorena.
Za zemlju nije, za pokoj nije
cvijet što nema korijena.”
― Tin Ujević, Igračka vjetrova

“Nužno, netko fali, kad nas pjesma smami.
Gledamo se blijedi. Falimo si sami.”
