Abstract
The intention of this article is the reception of Otokar Březina's poetry in the years 1896-1968. The poems and essays admired by Brezina's contemporaries have lost nothing of their power and impressiveness today.
Březina's poetical expression, very rich in metaphors and parables, religious elements and philosophical and even scientific terms, merged gradually from rhythmical alexandrines into broad free verse, filled with sensual images, rich in thought and musical taste.
