Semnificații ale tăcerii în poezia lui Traian Dorz
Significations of quietness in Traian Dorz’s poetry

Summary/Abstract: The current paper aims at taking into consideration some aspects regarding the linguistic expression and significations of tăcere (quietness), as they are conveyed in the confessional poetry written by Traian Dorz – a contemporary Romanian writer whose work is undoubtedly the fruit of some spiritual experiences which have decisively marked his existence. Such lyrical mystical creations materialize confessions of faith, dogmatic truths, put together in a poetic vision full of divine revelation proofs which transcend, without hesitation, the dimensions of reason. In fact, the relation between man and Divinity (both on Earth and in Eternity) remains a constant topic of this work dedicated to the fabulous feeling of His unmistakable love, in connection with which everything is related to the unspoken; is it a unique way of “verbalising”, which offers the opportunity to live in a true spiritual discipline and which substitutes (and supresses) any other form of confession through common words. Apart from the simple illustration of such expressive significations which contribute to the textual framing, the meanings of tăcere / quietness (with an active intension!) highlight the profound feelings of the lyrical voice, always found ascending on the way of mystical knowing, and lies on a positive semantic direction, as a special manner of interior “speaking”, without which communication would not be possible.
