Summary/Abstract: Starting from the premise that in Blaga’s posthumous poems the image of the woman appears as a reflection of the Great Absolute, the present work analyzes the metamorphosis of the feminine face between brightness and darkness. The feminine image has multiple aspects: flame, burning, longing, reflection of nature and it is the quintessence of the primary elements (water, air, fire, earth). This face is in a continuous metamorphosis, it is boundless, thus it becomes transcendent. As projection and extension of divine essence, the womanly hypostasis becomes a vegetal being: her arms turn into branches, her face becomes ear of wheat, or she acquires even the prerogatives of the moon. The love creates the connection between the external reality and the primary reality. That’s why the woman is eternal, mysterious and she is full of symbols, as we tried to analyze in the present work.
