THE MOTIF OF THE FLYER IN TUDOR ARGHEZI’S POEMS

Summary/Abstract: In Arghezi’s poem Lingoare, the myth of the Flyer is only suggested by the girl's illness and by her association with longing. The rhythm of poetry has folk resonances and accents of enchantment. Love is represented here, as in popular mythology, under the spectrum of mystery and the infusion of the fantastic. The feeling of love is captured in a unique hypostasis: that of illness, longing, smoldering suffering that leads to a lethargy of the being, to a dull pain and no cure. In Fătălăul, the reason of the Flyer, which accuses the mixture of a dirty sacred form in human destiny, is correlated with elements of traditional, folkloric anthropology, which warns that the evil hidden in man, the predisposition for crime, would be denounced, first of all, by an aberrant appearance compared to normal.
