Virza Edvarts
(1883—1940)

The great Latvian poet. Edvarts Virza subordinates human life to natural vegetation cycle and he integrates it into the higher structure of natural cyclization; it is the result of Virza's pantheism (pantheistic teaching), which identifies God with nature and understands nature as creative nature (natura naturans), not as nature created (natura naturata). The model of the relations between man and nature Virza encoded into the symbols of garden, flower, and cup. In accordance with the poetics of symbolism these symbols are multi-positioned; they have several levels and surfaces.
