Flori de plumb. Flowers of Lead - George Bacovia

Cu G. Bacovia ne aflam in fata unui paradox: pe de o parte, el este cel mai original poet roman, in sensul ca originalitatea lui extrema nu poate fi impartasita si, cu atat mai putin, luata ca model: pe de alta, el este singurul nostru poet in care simbolismul se regaseste plenar, de la recuzita, la retorica afectiva. - Nicolae Manolescu

With Bacovia we are facing a paradox: on the one hand he is the most original Romanian poet-meaning that his extreme originality cannot be shared, and even less, taken as a model; on the other hand, he is our only poet in whose work, symbolism is absolute, from props to affectiverhetoric. - Nicolae Manolescu
