..". K. Bal'mont po pravu schitaetsya odnim iz luchshih russkih poetov. Poryvistyj, uvlekayuschijsya i uvlekayuschij, on obogatil russkuyu poeziyu tselym ryadom novyh chuvstv, obrazov i myslej. Broshennye im devizy prodolzhayut zhit' do sih por. ..." (N.Gumilev) ..". Bal'mont prezhde vsego - novyj chelovek." K novoj poezii" on prishel ne cherez soznatel'nyj vybor. On ne otverg starogo" iskusstva posle rassudochnoj kritiki; on ne postavil sebe zadachej byt' vyrazitelem opredelennoj estetiki. Bal'mont kuet svoi stihi, zabotyas' lish' o tom, chtoby oni byli po-ego krasivy, po-ego interesny, i esli poeziya ego prinadlezhit novomu" iskusstvu, to eto stalos' pomimo ego voli. On prosto rasskazyvaet svoyu dushu, no dusha u nego iz teh, kotorye lish' nedavno stali rastsvetat' na nashej zemle. V etom vsya sila bal'montovskoj poezii, vsya ee zhiznennost', hotya v etom i vse ee bessilie. ..." (V.Bryusov)
