Synthetic outcomes of poetic and hermeneutic aspects of Desanka Maksimović's poetry are effectuated in a new reading by emphasizing (besides the recognizable aesthetic components of her lyrical speech) the palimpsestic reach of the spirituality of the Slavic culture, which, in the outcomes of her early lyrics and later reflections, is emphasized by the dynamics of the discourse and dialogism of the poetic thought in its illuminative, anthropological and ontological givenness. By comparative analysis of the first and third creative phases, by dynamics of cyclicity of small and large poetic forms (a part - the whole and the whole - a part) the multiplied motif structure and idealist standpoints are expressed on the plane of form by deepening the lyrical substance, by increasing the epic potential in the reflexive miscellanies of the third period, by apostrophizing the relation author-hero, 'sense of religion' and iconic nature of a poetic image, by which immediate contacts are made with Russian poetry and culture - not only on the poetic but also on a deeper level, in illumination of medieval canons and mythical and historical consciousness. Expectations of hermeneutic research point to ontological closeness of poetess's zeniths (I Plead for Amnesty) to Bakhtin's comprehension of responsibility of the poet and poetic act as particular forms of creative aesthetization of the moral attitude.
