The lyric works of Karolina Pavlova mainly deal with the tragedy of the romantic poet genius, lonely more and more due to his artistic vocation - a motif which refers mainly to the romantics Pushkin and Mickiewicz. Similarly, idealized romantic are the problems of a woman in a male-dominated world, while the poems that deal with unrequited love for Mickiewicz, are dictated by grief and a vain attempt to get over the disappointment. Even after twenty years, the poet recalls the day when she had the young Polish writers confessed their love. In later works Mickiewicz is a phenomenon, a vision and an idol, which it seeks to overcome in vain.
