P. K. Yavorov. Personality and poet

A passionate warrior for justice. A rebellious spirit, filled with violent hatred and contempt for the gray human existence. A social poet, carried away by the heroic example of Botev, a poet who deeply felt the miserable plight of his people. And also: a willing bandit, ready to do anything - to lay down his head for the big or the small - as long as it once captured his spirit. Among the Bulgarian creators of the artistic word, he is perhaps the most complex, the most contradictory. Thus, he is often tormented by polar experiences. And this is both in the quests of the mind and in the impulsiveness of feelings. His mind is as penetrating as that of a deep thinker, resolving questions of existence. His emotionality is subtle, perfect. His ideas are like those of a sensitive visionary. His tendency to self-analysis and reflection is constant. It is as if he is searching through himself for the self-knowledge of the human, for that which hides the bottomless depths of the spirit. Although outwardly closed, "monotonous", silent, he is constantly in motion - with his proud critical mind, with his penetrating thought, with his bold, stormy emotionality. And this has been the case since his youth. Everything about this restless man speaks of considerable spiritual strength. His thought is boldly rebellious, fiercely driven, like lightning running across the Horizon. It is flexible, internally contradictory, complex and dialectical. It reminds of a drink that is both sweet and bitter - and corrosive, and has a wisely healing taste. This thought is always driven, as if it cannot stand still. It searches, gropes, invades spheres of ever new complexities. It knows both the dizzying rise and the pain of disappointment. That's why sometimes a sad, ironic mockery shines through it.
