Summary/Abstract: From the features of textual - reticular, inferential, pluricodal, synergetic meaning (Vlad, 2000), we chose to interpret the reticular feature manifested by “a variety of networks” or “a discursive verbal chain” and conceptual configuration. The metaphoric meaning of the text in the essayistic discourse offers a discursive knowledge of reality (“continuous” knowledge): the prospective vision (telescopic, exteriorly transcending) – the sensible continues with the introspective one (autoscopic, interior transcendence) – the intelligible. The poetic consciousness (perceptive: “My sadness hears the unborn dogs / as they bark at the unborn people”) dislocates the textual meaning (from the linguistic sequence) to an imaginary horizon: inter mundi. The reality contemplation meaning is performed “from an outside to an inside”. Here the space is compressed, reflected into a hyperdense universe. The isotopies of poetic (textual) meaning are markers of discourse in the metatext of Stanescu’s essay.
