The paper is built on the formulation by Vladimír Svatoň about the binary aesthetics of beauty and nobleness in modern literature from the 18th to the 20th century, and it outlines the historical line of the aesthetics of nobleness from the ancient times until the present. Subsequently, there arises a question of a possible transition from aesthetics to the poetics of shimmering as a part of a new poetics following the constituent rules, grammars and algorithms of the creation of literary texts and events. At the same time, existential poetics, a means of expression and a manifestation of the situation of human being, is reflected.
