It is deduced that the importance of these lyrical subjects in the contest of the city’s image and in the aspect of their connection with the inner life of the lyrical hero. It should be noted that there are cases of contamination of different type of festivity in a single poetic text. Nevertheless it doesn’t mean that the individual content and form of each type of festivity’s system is missing. The author marks the motives of festivity’s lack of organicity, participants’ tiredness from their own dissembling. The situation of festivity is included in the context of ontological bases of being, principles of time and death. The importance of festivity’s catastrophic conclusion, when the man is unable to defend himself from tragic state of the world is deduced. Those texts in which emerges the phantasmagoric scene of the Ball of the dead men occupy a particular position. This scene represents the generation of the lyrical hero-poet’s inner world. This kind of festive plots’ transformation incarnate the idea of tragic bases of creative gift.
