Balassi Bastion Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a part of fortress of Zvolen (Slovakian)/Zolyom(Hungarian)/Altsohl(German), where in 1554 Balint Balassi was born.

Balint Balassi was the first prominent, world-class representative of Hungarian-speaking poetry, and the user and creator of new poetic forms. In his poetry he combined love lyrics with the experiences of the fight against the Turkish conquerors.

For almost 300 years only his religious poems were known to the public, love songs and heroic poems were found only in 1874, on the pages of the Radvánszky-codex in a forgotten library.

Hi Jaleb,

I did a little ws to see how it would look a bit brighter.
