Abstract

When Eberhart is obsessed with death and decay, he directs his attention on “the cruelty of reality”; when he is bewildered by his mystery of nothingness after experiencing lose, he lands on unresolved inquiries and when he realises that victory over the ‘invincible’ enemy is impossible, he puts on a noble acceptance or utters a bold defiance. These views are objectively expressed in some of his poems.
