Abstract:
He who is interested in the instrumental symbolism in Dorin Tudoran’s poetry will
conclude that the boat must be regarded as representing the third symbolical pivot, the first two
trans-symbols being the bird with its trans-symbols and the horse, and the fourth one is the
water. What mattered was finding conclusive answers to the questions whether the 'boat'
symbol passes directly from one book to another or by means of trans-symbols, if it extends its
sphere of meanings from one book to another and if the dynamics of its symbolism is structured
in the same way as the significants of the other symbolic pivots.
