Summary/Abstract: The study seeks to reveal the meaning underlying the usage of the bell in Alexandru Philippide’s poetry. Its frequency betrays the poet’s appetence for this ambiguous object. The bell stands between the concepts of life and death, of light and obscurity. The bell is very often reflected in Philippide’s poems, functioning as an avatar of the human condition.
