Extract

Mihaly Babits, modern Hungary's most erudite poet, represents (though he never participated actively in politics) the enlightened principles of Count Istvan Szechenyi, the nineteenth century statesman. Count Szechenyi was considered by Lajos Kossuth “the greatest Hungarian,” despite their political differences. Babits, Szechenyi-like, believed that politically, socially, economically, and culturally Hungary should be an equal of western Europe, without ignoring the obligations of her central and southeastern European geographical position.
