Abstract
This article is devoted to some intermedial observations on the reception of the philosophical views and elements of Friedrich Nietzsche's poetics by two representatives of the Moscow circle of "Argonauts" - the Young Symbolists Andrei Bely and Ellis. In addition, the work touches upon a number of (anti)mimetic parallels between the modulated by the German philosopher, on the one hand, and both "Argonauts", on the other hand, "texts of life".
