THE STATES OF NON-CONCLUSION

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at discussing, from a poetic point of view, one of the features of the fragment as a literary entity, that of non-conclusion, joining together various types of writings, from Angelus Silesius or Novali, to René Char, Roland Barthes, Jorge Angel Valente, Quasimodo or Ungaretti. Seen from the outer side, the fragment non-conclusion turns back to the issue of extremes: be it on a historic scale, in ruin, or as project; be it related to the writer, helplessness, drying up of creative power, pathological incapability to conclude or remaining for ever in the genuine state, in a spiritual incompatibility with the stiffness and final shape of the poetic form. Even more fruitful than the outer etiology of non-conclusion, is its aesthetic perception in agreement with a wide range of internal motivations perceptible in the text. In this way, the pathetism of dissolution becomes a more flexible game of eclosion-withdrawal, in an infinite significance winding up, where the beginning turns into a poetic gesture of eternal return to the sacred point of innateness. Innateness becomes an infinitely generating matrix, where poetry should be its non-conclusion and also an ontological winding up through which beginning and end mingle together.
