Summary/Abstract: Among all the stylistic procedures that originally mark Eminescu's creation, the symbol occupies a distinct place, through that it puts into a productive relationship the reader with the text and, through this, with the author. The light, as central symbol, it combines various dimensions of the creative thought and, that is why, it knows various aspects. Selenar poet by excellence, Eminescu proves himself, especially in the pages of his prose, an artist of solar hegemony too, to which he associates the meaning of becoming. From the rising of the Sun to its setting, the bright symbol proves himself less of a decorative element and more of a form of mirroring the existence in different action and emotional states.
