PAUL CELANʼs Meridian
PAUL CELANʼs Meridian

Summary/Abstract: As in the case of chronic introverts, Paul Celan talks little and convulsively about poetry. Celan is a poet who fragments his self kaleidoscopically, as if the third dimension bindingly entails a third being. The epicenter of Celan's poetry is always the reconstructed being. The residual being. Celan is programmatically casting about for a second abyss. The writer behaves like an unfathomed Janus: he wants another, deeper abyss, from which to see himself (as another). From the depths below the conscious, he looks with unique sensoriality at the known surface. An explorer and adventurer of "The Being", Celan seeks the foundation of fountain; he seeks to have a communion with the "dark springs" towards a new limpidity. Honest and lucid, the only inhabitant of the edge of the abyss, Paul Celan is the last Knight of the sad figure.
