SYMBOL, IMAGE AND NATURIST METAPHOR IN ION HOREA’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: The poetry of Ion Horea is framed by critics in the area of traditionalism, of bucolic lyrics, which the interwar poets have brought to life through inserting new ideas. Celebrating the harvest, working the land, working with tools and universal germination along with the proud statement of our rural roots, are until the end of the seventh decade the main themes and motifs of this bucolic poetry. In this study, we will analyze the poetry of Ion Horea through observations, regarding the poetic imagination, being influenced by the critic vision of Alexandru Cistelecan regarding the work of Ion Pillat, which is similar in the visual structure and the symbolic relevance with the work of our poet. Often, we will quote from interpretations made by Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand, Ivan Evseev, Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant, but also from the alchimist theories, which will prove to be relevant later on.
