Summary/Abstract: Although poets should avoid consecrated, bookish or folkloric symbols, statistics show that they are very frequent in modern poetry. Named "the poet of masks", who lived as a creative servant between poetry and theatre, Emil Botta, the author of a black, unmistakable poetry, with characters from his own mythology of death, was born to relate what is beyond the frontier between human existence and "real" life. He differently used various symbols in original and authentic ways.
