Water as a Sign of Cognitive Identity in the Poetry of Blaga

Keywords: water; sign; spiritual matrix; poetry; identity

Summary/Abstract: Among other motifs in the poetry of Blaga, water involves the perceiving of time, showing the flow, the trace of infinity, and gathering and then spreading the secret of life that it beholds. In this context, we see water as a sign of cognitive identity starting from the need to search and to find or not to find the spiritual matrix of evolution. Is water the sign that bears movement and transcendence? Does it determine attitudes that make place for cognitive interpretations? Does it really represent an element of the Universe? Those questions will shape Blaga’s identities and conceptions through the element of cognition as evolutional and valuable determinations.
