• Nataliya Polovynka: "Shevchenko collected the Ukrainian language with his poetry, which flowed in song. And his poetry was most delicately sung - a folk song. This mutual overflow of love: song-poetry-song speaks of our personal connection with this land, with the land - with God."
•Bohdana Frolyak: "Shevchenko's poetry does not open immediately, just like biblical texts. You have to think a lot, resort to explanations, but when you read them, you get an incredible feeling of a special state of silence-music-grace-peace-light."
•Valentyn Silvestrov: "In history, this is a unique case when the poet became a symbol not only of the struggle for independence , but also a symbol of Ukraine. Through the word. He even has the line "And on the watch I will put the word." Shevchenko's attitude to the word is biblical, his work is generally closely connected with the Bible... It so happened that his poetic word did not become simply literary, although it seemed that all the prerequisites for this were there. It is like psalms, he is a psalmist. He is not a poet in the literary sense. He is different. He did not strive for rhyming beauty, he had a completely different task."
