Phrases with the verb a tăcea in Traian Dorz’s poetry

Summary/Abstract: Our paper aims to analyse some aspects regarding phrases with the verb a tăcea in Traian Dorz’s poetry – a Romanian contemporary writer whose work illustrates, overall, the meanings of some spiritual experiences that fundamentally marked his existential path. We will consider the fact that, in several verbal phrases, a tăcea changes its common characteristics, occasionally meeting transitive use, and it associates with direct objects expressed by nominals in the accusative case. Other times, various pronominal clitics appear next to it, used even with ethical dative value. More than once, the lyrical sequences also integrate antonyms of this verb, in symmetries with an essential role in obtaining some obvious stylistic effects and, implicitly, in building the message of that specific poem, which relies on highlighting the relation between man and God – in a Christian vision –, on the direct dialogue of the soul with the Divine, a fact often manifested, paradoxically, through the absence of communication (commonly seen). Overall, we discuss a special type of “verbalising”, as a special manner of interior “speaking”, which offers the opportunity to live in an authentic spiritual discipline: it supresses any other form of confessing with words, these being substituted, thus, by an entire universe of unique experiences, situated under the sign of the unspoken.
