János Arany’s
spiritual heritage is alive regardless of anniversaries: his poetry and figure
has been a standard, inspiring example and or controversial grandeur for all his
contemporaries and successors. His characteristic calm voice was cited during
his life and has been cited since his death from generations to generations by
several poets in respecting, touching, witty and funny pieces of arts. He was
the ‘beloved Jankó’ for Petőfi, ‘Deceased master’ for Babits, not to be
followed but inevitable ancestor for Ady, Radnóti and István Vas regarded him
as their grandfathers. Many address him, others like for example Sándor Weöres imitate
his poetry in grandiose poem cycles. Many among the present day poets like Szabolcs
Várady, Ádám Nádasdy, András Ferenc Kovács and Dániel Varró playfully evoke his
spirit in serious exercises in style: they re-write his poems, mimic, parody or
mock him not to allow him to become a statue.
