FANTASY AND STYLISTIC EXPRESSIVENESS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF OCTAVIAN GOGA’S POETIC IMAGINARY

Summary/Abstract: The present study analyzes how Goga`s poetry is buit upon the tension between illusion and inner turmoil, grounded in the concept of phantasia, which involves not only the freedom to imagine but also the capacity to transform reality into a symbolic universe. In Goga`s lyricism, fantasy recreates rural life in a mythical and visionary light, projecting the original values of the nation into the poetic plane. Landscapes become projections of the collective soul and the poetic imaginary – a symbol, mythical and fabulous space where reality, legend and collective memory converge. Illusion manifests through the desire for freedom, justice and spiritual communion, but also through the pain of this ideal`s collapse in the face of historical reality. The disintegration gives Goga`s poetry a tragic aura. His poems express the restlessness, revolt and inner turmoil of the poet caught between hope and despair. In conclusion, Octavian Goga`s poetry imaginary is constituted as a synthesis of creative fantasy, shattered illusion and symbolic madness, reflecting the tragic condition of modern man and the historical drama of his nation.
