Abstract
The article analyzes the religious subjectivity of A.A. Blok of the 1900s as a representative of “mythopoetic symbolism” in the aspect of his attitude to sexual love. The sources of Blok’s “erotic utopia” are indicated: the doctrine of “true love” by V.S. Solovyov, the concept of “Christian falling in love” by Z.N. Gippius, the Nietzschean myth of Apollo and Dionysus in its solar-lunar modification. In their light, the collections “Poems about a Beautiful Lady”, “Unexpected Joy”, “Earth in the Snow” are considered, some ego-documents are involved. The conclusion is made about the ambiguity of the concept of “falling in love” in the work of Blok and about its opposition to the “message of Love” by Solovyov.
