"Al' moje je srce sveže,
proleća se njemu smeše,
pa kada bi lišće velo,
pa kada bi samo htelo
po mom srcu da poleže,
svaki listak što bi pao
kô cvetak bi ponikao.

Al' umesto lišća vela
jedna se je ruža svela,
pa je pala, pa se rascvetala
posred srca moga vrela;
al' od te će ruže mene
vrelo srce da uvene."

Ovo nije ocjena ovog konkretnog izdanja, već generalno pjesništva Laze Kostića.
Mogu da kažem da je on sigurno moj omiljeni pjesnik srpskog romantizma, kao i jedan od omiljenih pjesnika uopšte.
Još uvijek je dovoljno pristupačan, pitak, ponekad čak i duhovit i zabavan, nije hermetičan kao neki savremeni pjesnici, a istovremeno zalazi u neke modernije, dublje teme. Kombinacija misaone i duboko emotivne poezije.

Neke od omiljenih pjesama:

Spomen na Ruvarca
O Šekspirovoj tristagodišnjici
Minadir
Među javom i med snom
Santa Maria della Salute

Iz ništavila u slavu slava,
iz beznjenice u raj, u raj...
U raj, u raj, u njezin zagrljaj!

Kostićevi neologizmi; filozofija o pesničkoj inspiraciji kao nečemu što samo pesnik poznaje, što se nalazi između jave i sna; njegova kosmogonija...nemam reči.

Омиљени песник <3

Such a shame that English translation can't show all the beauty of his poems, because I would recommend them to everyone.
