Ľubica Somolayová´s study Mikuláš Dohnány: Dumy (Contemplative Elegies) interprets one of the most significant texts of the author, a representative of Romantic generation, a cycle Dumy (Contemplative Elegies). She characterizes it in the wider context of his literary works. She analyses also some other texts (poems Improvizácia /Improvisation/ and Sen /The Dream/) inspired by romantic individualism and titanism. She mostly aimed at the poems with messianic motifs from the 40tieth of the 19th century (Slovo /The Word/, Zakliata krajina /Enchanted Country/, Syn Tatier /The Son of Tatras/). They became a starting impulse for her interpretation of Dumy (Contemplative Elegies). She considers the text as a symbiosis of the several romantic tendencies. Mikuláš Dohnány´s work proves the fact that an initial titanism is a common denominator typical for several messianic projects appreciating activity based on autonomous decisions of a subject made on behalf of the entire community. If the titanic act shows as non-realisable or it fails, the subject has a tendency to isolate, passively meditating in the shelter, waiting for an upcoming great historical change. The change does not come because of an autonomous decision of the subject, or the entire community, but in terms of messianic concept, it can come true only through meeting God´s plan.

The paper outlines one of the forms of melancholy in the literary discourse of Slovak romanticism. As regards materials, it is based on ego documents by Mikuláš Dohnány (1824 – 1852), in particular his diaries (1850 – 1852) and correspondence (1839 – 1852), as regards research, it is focused on the conflict between the latent (melancholy) and manifested (heroic and messianic) lines of the author´s production. The antagonism between the ideal and the reality forms the basis for M. Dohnány´s life experience and it is also noticeable in his intimate diary records. The subject of the analysis is the performative and functional nature of Dohnány´s diaries, which feature so-called self-disciplining comments prompting the author to take action, to make a difference. Dohnány´s melancholy, which has several romantic characteristics (it is based on negation, inward oriented, attached to the „inner self ”), remains hidden thanks to them and is subject to the self-control mechanism as it does not correspond with the ideal of a „ brave Štúr´s follower“, which Dohnány kept trying to put into practice.
