The article interprets eschatological and apocalyptic literary works recognized as most representative for the discussed subject. Especially important in the context of the included poets seems to be the transfer of the text “Apokalipsa” (“The Apocalypse”) into a realm of internal experience, which indicates not only an individual, but also a phantasmal essence of religious impression. Tetmajer often employs “reported dreams”, the poet does not utilize the specific oneiric technique, imitating the process of natural dreaming. The visions mainly express terrifying images of nihilistic nothingness and a loss of establishment in the macrocosm. Through dreams about the annihilation of the Earth Tetmajer presents existential is-sues connected to the act of creation and the human – God relation. The motifs of “a destructive-constructive genesis” evoke a rich context of the Kabbalah tradition. Based on the analysed poems we can deduct that Tetmajer’s writing is dominated by the inverted reading of the Apocalypse, although, paradoxically, the author of Melancholy leaves some hope leading to a perspective of salvation.
