Summary/Abstract: The first authentic Romanian Symbolist writer (G. Călinescu) - poet, novelist, playwright, sociologist, Ștefan Petică is a poet of reverie and musicality. The suggestion of impenetrable emotions, the cultivation of the harmony of vision and rhythm, all these are complemented by the echoes and the representations that stem from the sensational and musical sensitivity of Ştefan Petică, where the sounds reconstruct, as in the poems in prose, fragments of the past, say a “story”, reconstituting suggestively an atmosphere of mystery and voluptuousness. In Ștefan Petică’s poems a musicality of sensations is made by the conversion of affective states into poetic figures of remarkable coherence. The erotic feeling is a sum of the same harmonious reveries, observing the symmetry of the senses, the pictures of femininity being rewritten in a delicate, fragile style, in musical verses that seem evanescent.
