Une topographie mythique. La Méditerranée de Lorand Gaspar
A Mythic Topography: the Mediterranean of Lorand Gaspar

Summary/Abstract: In this essay we analyze the restitution of space–time of the Mediterranean landscape as presented in the poetry of Lorand Gaspar. In the first part, « Le paysage comme épiphanie », we demonstrate how Lorand Gaspar pursues a quest for originary substance, the foundation of the One, guarantor of Being. In the second part, « Une „théologie du souffle et de la soif” », we study the manner in which, in his preferred Mediterranean places, the island reveals a figurative scheme expressing « in the form of spatialized myth, metaphysical thought » (Wunenburger). In the third part, « Errance et parole ulyssienne », we demonstrate that by means of the « Ulyssean » word that Lorand Gaspar expresses the fullness of the Mediterranean experience. In fact, in Gaspar the landscape is always « migrating » through its innumerable images that confer upon his versification an unforgettable ontic vibration.
