The article presents the relationship between the motifs of blindness and extrasensory perception in the works of Ukrainian Romantic poets. The author of the article shows the ancient lineage of the great blind men — soothsayers and poets-visionaries — and examines the multifaceted symbolism of blindness based on the literary images of blind kobzars, lirnyks and bandurists. The author focuses on the evolution of symbolism of blindness in the works of Taras Shevchenko.
