The Croatian poet Augustin (Tin) Ujevic (1891-1955) is one of the
finest Southern Slav lyric poets and one of the great poets of
Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. While Tin
Ujevic's poems are hardly known in English, they are loved in his
native Croatia and throughout former Yugoslavia. At least until the
break-up of the Yugoslav Federation, many of Tin's lyrics were
known by heart and quoted by people all over the country, even
those who weren't particularly literary, in much the same way as
some of W.B. Yeats's early poems, like 'The Lake Isle of
Innisfree', 'He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven' and 'Down by the
Salley Gardens', are known and quoted all over Ireland and the UK.
