„Nu-i condei să poată scrie”: egestas linguae – Concept and Confession in the Poetry of Traian Dorz

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our paper is to analyse the concept of egestas linguae, as it is reflected in some of the lyrical confessive creations of Traian Dorz – a Romanian contemporary author whose work represents the fruit of some spiritual experiences that decisively sealed his existence. Nonetheless, the soul’s relationship with God (in the frame of Earth, but also in the perspective of eternity) remains a constant topic of this work dedicated to His uniqueness, to the amazing feeling of divine love, within which everything is, not once, wordless. As a result, we will have in view the fact that such unmediated confessions, about the weakness of language in the act of artistic creation, materialize to an expressive extent, in several ways, especially through the means of sentences (main or subordinate clauses) with verbs in the negative form (like to be or can), underlining the limits of the usual discourse in the act of trying to portray the exceptional characteristics of Divinity, impossible to convey through trivial words; nevertheless – easier to depict through that emblematic absence of a written or said word, equivalent to the uplifting quietness while praying, following the mystics of forever.
