Summary/Abstract: Arghezi fluctuates between veneration and denying the divinity. Psalms are known for revealing these experiences. We aimed to study the relationship between man and divinity within the poems that have things in common with pray or which are requests addressed to the divinity. The poet distinguishes between sacrifice and sacrilege, postures attributed for sacred and profane, providing adequate conditions for the eschatological myth. The Arghezian world is a mixture of pure and impure, fascination and horror, interdiction and transgression, characterized by the eternal seekings and doubts.
