FORMS OF THE REAL-IMAGINARY CONNECTION IN EMIL BOTTA`S LYRICS

Summary/Abstract: Emil Botta's lyricism is impregnated by the symptomatology of the dream, by bookish echoes, as well as by the usual spectacular-fanciful hypostasis. He lives with extreme intensity and expresses himself with a poetic purity, which necessarily implies the rupture, the "division" of the poet from the world and the environment, the recovery of the lyrical self in the imaginary, of the "lost" world in his own plan, by the aesthetic assumption of reality. Invested with the negative duties of an enemy, Chimera is for Emil Botta a fascinating being, tying the poet into her murderous nets through that open eye in the depths of the unconscious to which she wants to attract him. Emil Botta's lyric leads to the extension of the idea of the fundamental irreversibility of time, to the entire Universe, to the notion of mystery as a defining note of human existence. Thus, Emil Botta presents himself as a fascinated poet by chimeras and endowed with an obvious ability to remove the contradictions between the pleasure of creating and the social reality, successfully fulfilling the creative act's specific objectives.
