Poetic Obituaries: [Milan] Rufus is one of the most outstanding

personalities of Slovak poetry in the modern history of Slovakia.

For decades he had been dealing with the questions of truth and beauty, he wrote about worldly and divine love--inexhaustibly seeking humanity and truth. Rufus' poems are simple and intelligible verses, full of belief in God, humility, modesty and love of life and humanity. For Slovaks, Rufus represented a unique moral authority. His poetic works and essays, as well as his creations for children, are universally read in Slovakia.
