Abstract

This paper deals with three German expressionist poems. In different ways they reveal the modern perplexity in regard to the vanishing of the last traces of bourgeois Humanism at the dawn of the twentieth century. It highlights the repeated (and remodelled) use of parataxis, heightening the exhibition of this process in the lyrical form as it was employed in Germany on the eve of  World War I in contrast to the two preceding decades.
