The article is concerned with two major poetic works by the Czech author Jan Zahradníček from 1947 and 1951. In this very difficuld period, he created two fundamental texts in which he expressed his skepticism about the development of the post-war Czechoslowac society dominated the communist regime.

These poetic composition, however, remain a unique testimony to the attempt to defend an endangered conservative attitude and to offer a diagnosis of the time, charcterized by a great social optimism, on the one hand, and an awareness of destruction, on the other.
