The article explores the role played by the motif of stars and sparks in the first to third songs of Macha’s poem May. Stars appear in the first canto, both in reference to stars whose light is going out and in the form of sparks (the reflection of starlight) playing on the waves of the lake. In the second canto, the extinct (dead) star that is falling forever through dark space connotes human life exposed to nothingness. If the sparks on the lake are characterised as ‘lost light’, then, it is said, man is unable to determine which spark is a reflection of which star, and is thereby also unable to reveal the source of the light and of earthly beauty. Humans are thus unable to discern whether earthly beauty and earthly life really have any supernatural (transcendent) source.

This paper focuses on Mácha’s poem O Muse, which is generally considered to be his most mature, and possibly his last, German poem. Based on previous standpoints it is also assessed as a poem in which Mácha departs from a Christian world-view, but this conclusion is elaborated in the sense that it is a departure from the Enlightenment conception of God as the creator of a perfect world and a concerned Father. In contrast to previous research it formulates two hypotheses: firstly the theory that this is a funeral poem and that it is the poet’s farewell to A. Klar. The fact that Klar was thus the addressee of two congratulatory poems (City vděčnosti [Feelings of Gratitude] and Stimmen zur Namensfeier) and one funeral poem, and that he is described in Stimmen zum Namensfeier as the teacher who showed the author that poetry was to be his lifelong career, indicates that Klar played a much more prominent role in the poet’s personal development than is generally thought. Secondly, a comparison of Mácha’s poetics and those of the poems in Klar’s 1822 and 1829 anthologies bolsters the hypothesis that Mácha’s poetics were formed in close association with the type of poems that were personally presented to the young poet by A. Klar.
