Poetica acvaticului
The poetry of the aquatics

Summary/Abstract: The aquatic element plays an important role in the evolution of life itself, making a journey through Romanian literature with reference to generic works of some prominent writer.We find that water is unbreakable linked to the history reflecting somehow a part of the Romanian spirit.The detailed analysis of some regressive events which captures the creative energies of water, coupled with the phenomenon of dispersion of the creative being in units specific to primordial elements, by noting some new facets of the archetype already illustrated with other meanings, will highlight the multiple values of the water metaphor as compared, relative to the landmarks of the universal culture.Aspects of the aquatic metaphor such as waters playful waters, sleepy waters, failed waters, impassable fluidity gaze, female - languid waters, infinite waters, exotic waters, distressing waters, fantastic waters, absent waters, primordial waters are exploited in the works of major poets – starting from Mihai Eminescu and the Junimists to George Coşbuc , Tudor Arghezi, Vasile Voiculescu, Lucian Blag , Adrian Maniu, Ion Pilat, Ion Barbu , until Nichita Stanescu, Marin Sorescu, Ileana Mălăncioiu, Ana Blandiana, Ioan Alexandru, Mircea Ivănescu or Cezar Baltag, who grouped the poetic signs of aquatic semantic around some cores such as primordial water, dead water, stagnant water, flowing water, capturing water in spiritual and material ways that creates a unique artistic expression.The great archetypes will develop a variety of symbols, demonstrating their ambivalence and generating different meanings, depending on outside influences, cultural events and mentality.The four essential elements - earth, water, fire and air - "color" the human soul, generating spiritual archetypes.While archetype cannot be changed, the symbol, that it generates by thousands of meanings, can be multiplied and analyzed in a variety of semantic, semiotic or structural meanings. The myth consists of symbols, archetypes, through which it illustrates gestures, fact, and thus the symbol takes the form of a word and the archetype becomes an idea.By developing this theme we are trying to widen the imagination theory developed by G. Bachelard, as both in literature and in culture, the symbolic meanings of water bounded on three interpretations: water - the origin of life, water - means of purification, water - regeneration center, acquires new connotations in the works of the great Romanian writers from Miron Costin, Dimitrie Cantemir to contemporary writers.
