Straipsnyje yra analizuojamas nuolat pildytas, leitmotyvinis Maironio eilėraščių rinkinys Pavasario balsai vienos sujungančios hipotetinės idėjos kontekste, kuri leidžia vertinti šį poezijos rinkinį kaip poetinį ciklą. Autorė traktuoja šią idėją kaip asmeninį priesaką-iššūkį, kuris pasikartojančiuose bandymuose, – šiuo atveju pagal romantinį pavyzdį, – siekia suvokti savo vaidmenį pasaulyje. Atskirų eilėraščių lyrinio subjekto interpretacija, lyginantjį su viso rinkinio kūrybiniu subjektu, o vėliau – šios kategorijos gretinimas su autoriumi (tai yra, su jo reprezentantu) yra naujas, pretenduojantis į novatoriškumą bandymas perskaityti kūrinį kitaip negu ligi šiolei. Šitas priesakas atskleidžia asmeninį „Maironio laiką“, kuris atitinka realųjį istorinio proceso laiką, su praeitimi, dabartimi ir ateitimi – visuomeninių ir nacionalinių permainų kontekste.The aim of this work is to show the analysis of "Pavasario balsai" by Maironis in the context of certain hypothetical and connective ideas and to look upon this collection of lyrics as a poetry cycle.
