THE SILENCE BEYOND THE WORDS IN THE RELIGIOUS POETRY OF VASILE VOICULESCU AND LUCIAN BLAGA

Summary/Abstract: The poetry of religious inspiration has a special status in the history of Romanian literature, being a space with a particular spiritual resonance. Vasile Voiculescu proclaimed the Christian values of love and hope within the bounds of an original, vibrant and reverberating verse. Lucian Blaga is a rejuvenator of myths who managed to raise the ordinary to the sacred dimension. The component elements of his poetry are the words which can create, the religious symbols and the closeness to the divine. Blaga discovers the mythopoetic function of the language. The word is raised up to a higher level because its power is strongly intuited. The presence or the absence of a word has a deep meaning. That is why the verses, within only a few words of a strong essence, highlight and associate symbols, creating different areas of interpretation. The language deficit does not mean a creativity deficit. The moments of silence, scattered like the Morse code, allow the reader’s imagination to advance step by step and process clear or hidden truths.
