Dedicated to the 200th Birth Anniversary of Prominent Georgian Romantic Poet Nikoloz Baratashvilli.
Works of famous Lithuanian poet Maironis (1862-1932) from the romantic period still enter top ten of the best Lithuanian poets. His lyrics collection “Pavasariobalsai” [The Voices Of Spring, 1895] became not only the herald of national liberation movement, but laid the basis of modern Lithuanian poetry, and established its valuable foundation. Aim of this paper is to look into this collection as a romantic worldview and a musical harmony inherent to romanticism as a song to Homeland; as well as discuss some images of Baltic mythology, which open new dimensions of Maironis’s poetry. This paper will refer to works of V. Daujotytė, Ž. Ramoškaitė, D. Razauskas, W. Wolf, V. Zaborskaitė, etc., research will be based on comparative methodology.
