Abstract

Throughout its history the poetics has used models borrowed from music. one of such models may be defined as that of processuality: according to this model, poetical work, as a musical one, is developing intime by means of “dissonances” and their “resolutions”. Idea of processuality of any aesthetic form was formulated by F.K. Griepenkerl, who, however, did not provide specific examples as to application of that idea to poetry. A complement to the formal aesthetics of Griepenkerl may be found in F. Hölderlin’s poetological texts where poetry is considered to be simultaneously a dialectical and a musical process which involves the confrontation of opposite “tones”.
