MOTIVE DE BASM ÎN OPERA LUI CEZAR BALTAG

Abstract

In this article we analyze the poetry of Cezar Baltag and its connection with Romanian folklore, focusing especially on the literary motifs and symbols that can be found at the same time in the fairy tales, folk stories and in the poetry, likewise. A set of ancestral motifs and symbols such as a well, road, water, acquire new valances in the poetry of Cezar Baltag. The poetry doesn’t contradict the old symbology but he offers it new connotative functions through infinitesimal detail. His poetry creates an enchanting world, at the hypnotic border, dominated by an abstract female being, by a supreme, omniscient and omnipotent deity, through which, the great mysteries of life are weaved and untied or are locked forever.
