THE POEMS OF HEARTS: FROM MAX BLECHER TO CORNELIU C. CRISTESCU

Summary/Abstract: Symbol of the center, the heart was considered the seat of feelings, sensitivity, soul, intuition and wisdom. Romanian poetry of all time has discovered in this symbol of the center a point of tangency between knowledge and affectivity, a timer of existence between systole and diastole, between extinction and retreat from the world, a mark of spiritual progress and an index of the modernization of literature. The work of the writer Max Blecher enjoys a limited interpretation as long as the modern vision of existence provides a plurality of interpretations. The emotional universe, whether it is obvious, or the dreamlike penetration of the mysteries of the construction of the being, will always have connotative ramifications. In other words: "Any interpretation explains the work, but it does not exhaust its meanings" (Umberto Eco). Beyond autothelic language, blecherian literature will generate - certainly - other comments. Under the "myth of Narcissus" (Gh.Glodeanu), Blecher's work exposes a severely ill body, whose soul remains awake and lucid, carefully X-raying its own condition. The inner reality, the suffering under the magnifying glass, is through redesigned sympathy, so "lived" and repeated. Deep down we discover the signs of the real world. Aesthetically, the writer creates the world that the narrator character experiences. Having horror of the real, discovers in itself virtual realities, a universe of sensations: the suave mystery of the soul body. The author's initiation into experimental existence places the work in the orbit of a literature entered into history, at the end of which he has learned his own identity as self-awareness. Dr. Engineer Corneliu Constantin Cristescu, author of the volume Poems of the Heart, from soul to soul at 70 years old (2020) transforms into sensitivity and poetry a vital chronology in which engineering and poetry coexisted, the author having the gift of turning into beauty the fast moment, which measures the variations of inspiration, joy and suffering throughout the existence of a human being. The proximity of the earth to the sky in an instant changes the meaning of the experience, and the lived hypostases are metamorphosed into verse.
