Stănescu şi Parmenide: despre metafora fiinţei

Starting from a comparison between the Parmenides and Elegia I, this article aims to investigate the Being in Nichita Stănescu’s work during the time of nihilism, in order to define the singularity of the poetic subject’s discourse, through a psychoanalytic approach. In the experience of writing this Elegia I – which is a highly poetic and mournful subjective experience – it is actually produced another kind of knowledge that digs into the Real. It is not an imaginary fiction, but a retreat of the metaphor itself, it is a sort of symbolic self-revelation of Being, which is never complete or exhaustive, because the truth, as a manque-à-être, is the reproduction of the immemorial place of an original difference in language.
