This paper discusses the breaking through of Ezra Pound’s verses into the structure of the play Homo volans by Nenad Prokić. The direct and indirect quotes, allusions and paraphrases, conscious or unconscious intentions of the author are discussed first. Subsequently, the details from the biography and poetics of Laza Kostić will be examined. We find similar details in the biography of Ezra Pound, even though no connections can plausibly be made, not least since the geographic and historical dimensions get in the way (Ezra Pound published his first lyrics in 1910, just as Laza Kostić’s life was coming to an end). Bearing all this in mind, this paper is for the most part based on the study of typological analogies. The coincidental similarities in the biographies of the two poets are discovered: the self-imposed exile (both men are at the same time resentful and bound to their homeland), the revolutionary attempts to re-instate the old, and personal delving into religiousness.
