In the beginning of the 20th century Hungarian poets were claiming to follow in the footsteps of Sándor Petőfi writing in an imitated folksy style yet lacking Petőfi's vision (and, mostly, talent) which was not able to renew itself. Ady was the first to break with the traditions and promote the new, modern style. Although he liked to see himself as a lonely, misunderstood revolutionary, in truth most of the poets of his generation took sides with him (and many of them imitated his style).
His first two books of poetry did not show anything new; he was still under the influence of 19th century poets such as Petőfi or János Vajda. The first elements of his own style appeared not in his poems but in his essays and other writings.

Quotes by Endre Ady (?)

“Igen: élni, míg élünk,
Igen: ez a szabály.
De mit csináljunk az életünkkel,
Ha fáj?

Élni, míg élünk”

“Destin d'Arbre Hongrois

Dans mon âme l'Arbre Hongrois
Et ses frondaisons succombent, tombent :
Il faut que de même façon
Je sombre en frondaison, floraison.

Holà, oh las, de la Sylvanie,
D'un lieu de sylves j'ai surgi
Frondaisons au lieu d'oraisons,
Bien peu d'imploraisons.

À flots j'ai versé les fleurs,
Dans le bien, dans le mal je fus fleur :
D'autres eurent fruitières saisons,
Je n'eus que saisons de floraisons.

Anciens sont mes jours, en païen
Je reste toujours refus d'oraison :
Ne soyez jusqu'à la mort que tombante saison
Hongroise floraisons, frondaisons.

(page 101, adaptation d'Armand Robin)”

“Sem utódja, sem boldog őse,
Sem rokona, sem ismerőse
Nem vagyok senkinek,
Nem vagyok senkinek.

Vagyok, mint minden ember: fenség,
Észak-fok, titok, idegenség,
Lidérces, messze fény,
Lidérces, messze fény.

De, jaj, nem tudok így maradni,
Szeretném magam megmutatni,
Hogy látva lássanak,
Hogy látva lássanak.

Ezért minden: önkínzás, ének:
Szeretném, hogyha szeretnének
S lennék valakié,
Lennék valakié.”
― Ady Endre, Osszes Versei
