"Tikrovėje, palikusioje už manęs ..." : kontekstinė eilėraščio analizė

Abstract

The focus of this article is on the analysis of A.Nyka- Niliūnas' inner images of movement, their interrelatedness and correspondence in the cycle of poems "Berlyno improvizacijos". The main theme of Niliūnas' entire poetry - the loss of the native home - is also discussed as an aesthetical and existential experience in an effort to determine which element of the feeling of alienation predominates. By means of contextual analysis of identical recurrent images in "Berlyno improvizacijos" are compared with the whole of Niliūnas' poetry; they are discussed as depending on two main text generating oppositions - cold and warmth. Special attention is given to a detailed analysis of the poet's visual impulses spreading out from the cycle's imagery to the inner network of motives. The figures of classical and Niliūnas' own personal mythologies - Orpheus and Prometheus - implicitly emerge from the totality of the text. "Berlyno improvizacijos" are seen in this article as an important seminal stape in the early poetic and aesthetic development of the reality of loss.
