THE GOLDEN LIGHT IN LUCIAN BLAGA’S POETRY
THE GOLDEN LIGHT IN LUCIAN BLAGA’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: As an Expressionist, Lucian Blaga’s poetry has been influenced by the folckloric myth, that proved to be a continuous inspirational source. The archaic symbol of “the golden light” marks the connection between the solar light, the rebirth of dawns and the glory of life. The myth is placed in the horizon of Romanian village, where “the golden light” is transformed into a spreading of primordial light that is to be found in his entire literary work. There is always a contrast between the lunar light which enriches mystery and the solar light which blinds and banishes it. This conflict is the key to Blaga’s work, because this struggle could never be solved, the contrast is never reconciled.
