View in context
In his early work the poet's deep-seated anxiety is partly expressed in gloomy imagery, partly papered over with a pseudoreligious (and often bombastic) terminology: "vilag priccsen felebredek / Satan es Isten foglya" (I wake up on the world's plank-bed / a prisoner of Satan and God).
