Abstract

Dimitrie Anghel is a remarkable Romanian symbolist for his special approach to the flower universe, especially for his frequent identification with floral element considered to be the avatar of the poetic. At the beginning of the 20th century Dimitrie Anghel’s lyrical creation has the merit of contributing to the development of Romanian lyricism by communicating the message through all the senses and his prose proves its modernity by resizing his contribution to the extension of Romanian literature in the European context. The escape in the garden — as a space of withdrawal in ideal, it is achieved through dream, in a symbolic way, abundant in expressive images. The representation of an identity discourse, the dream suggests the space of a human being originating retrieval through continuous metamorphoses, a space of human souls’ transmigration.

Keywords: Symbol, Aesthetic, Poem, Fantasy, Flower
