The dilemma of comparing picture and lyrical language can be perfectly parallelized with the unique (generical or media related) process of ekphrasis. This process also highlights the cohesive being of mediums from an iconological, and also from a poetological point of view. The interpretation of ekphrasis could accessed from the contradiction of memorising techniques and genres. Hence apart from the examination of ekphrasis and poems, the dichotomies of prose and poem, prosepoem and longpoem, as well as narration and lyricism are also part of the study. Several descriptive poems of Imre Oravecz are, in fact, ekphrasises, which can visualise and prove the accessibility of language and pictures.
