Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to unveil and explain the subtle connections between "Elegies for Minuscule Beings"(Elegii pentru fiinţe mici), a volume of poetry written by Eugene Ionesco, and "White and Black"(Le blanc et le noir) by the same author. At the core of Ionesco's meditation on the sacred, on the scandalous nature of death, or on the extent of tragic, there are the author's drawings and etchings that keep the secret of his encounter with the Romanian poetic expression. The point of contact between the real and the memory is graphically theatricalized exposing the vulnerabilities of the subject.
