Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on a theme hidden in the poetic discourse of Ana Blandiana. This is the theme of Love. The critic N. Manolescu notices the fact that Eros does not exist in the poems of Ana Blandiana. In particular, the volume October, November, December explores the theme in an euphemistic discourse that follows either the establishment of a distance from the Other or an androgynous mixture painfully felt as a metaphysical blunder. In our analysis, we shall define the book of Ana Blandiana as an anagogical type, in the sense of a permanent elevation to the spirit. In the poems of Ana Blandiana we encounter a reciprocal metamorphosis of the world and the SELF. This fertile mystery reigns and nature has a swarming animism. From this permanent oscillation love emerges dressed in the clothes of the STORGE (in ancient Greek, pure sentiment, evanescent, filial love).We shall follow the path of the poetic treatment of the theme, especially the effects of its lethal euphemization on the blandish poetic imagination, from the pantheistic naturism to the draping of the Eros in the folds of the asatic aspiration, as a means of ontological relocation, of re-learning the motives of the world.
