‘The Image Loses Its Memory’: On the Anamnesis of the Formation of Meaning and Possible Connections to the Poem ‘Strom’ by Ján Ondruš

Summary/Abstract: Fedor Matejov's analysis of Ján Ondruš's poem "Strom" delves into the symbolic interplay between the physical and the metaphorical, focusing on themes of injury, personification, and the human condition. Matejov explores the poem's depiction of a stigmatized tree, drawing parallels between the tree's physical wounds and human suffering. The poem's imagery, including the "scarred" tree and the "cooling" of its severed parts, evokes a sense of shared vulnerability and resilience. Matejov highlights Ondruš's use of archaic language and motifs, such as the "cutting" and "cooling" of the tree, to convey deeper existential themes. The analysis also touches on the poem's structural elements, including its repetitive and cyclical nature, which mirror the ongoing process of healing and memory. Matejov's interpretation underscores the poem's rich layers of meaning, inviting readers to reflect on the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. The essay concludes by situating Ondruš's work within the broader context of Slovak literature, emphasizing its enduring relevance and impact.
