The tears of the unicorn. An attempt at a phantasmic biography of an image

Summary/Abstract: The seeing of images by the poet writing a biography is a seeing of mysteries, phantasies and rarities – the projection of imagination onto the surrounding reality. For a young mind it equals an indistinctive and coupled being of the world. Images move on freely. However, are these the images? It is rather a grand amalgam of the world in its primal unity – the I-unicorn who permeates everything on the colourful tapestry of the world. The article is an attempt at revealing the phantasmic biography of the image from the perspective of the unicorn’s narrative, the poet-hunter who leaves the trace, the space of the primal forest and the mirror-fountain seducing with its deceptive reflection. The point of departure for this analysis is the moment of disintegration of the primarily unified, magic world – the time of metaphysical break, of the emergence of the unicorn’s tears, i.e. the magic jewels, traces – images.
