George Bacovia (Romanian pronunciation: ['d?e?ord?e ba'kovi.a]; the pen name of Gheorghe Vasiliu ['ge?orge vasi'li.u]; 17 September [O.S. 4 September] 1881 – 22 May 1957) was a Romanian symbolist poet.
While he initially belonged to the local Symbolist movement, launched as a poet by Alexandru Macedonski with the poem and poetry collection ("Lead"), his poetry came to be seen as a precursor of Romanian Modernism and eventually established him in critical esteem alongside Lucian Blaga, Tudor Arghezi, Ion Pillat, Ion Barbu, and Octavian Goga as one of the most important interwar Romanian poets.
In the 1950s, he wrote the poem "", which is his poetical testament.
