Arquitectura y fragmento. Análisis de El Fulgor de José Ángel Valente

Abstract

El Fulgor constitutes a unique poem built fragmentarily. Its unity comes from the allegorical structure: travel without ending in search of the loved object, daimonic character possessed by eros, cosmic structure of the matter in different orders, isolated moments of sudden revelation and backward, recurrent symbols that form a ritual process. The fragmentary writing, that corresponds well with its allegorical shape, shows a fracture at its beginning and at its end. Each fragment is constituted as a whole which owns a strongly woven phonetic, syntactic and symbolic structure. The poem is ellaborated in an extreme tension towards the absence, matching up then the overflowing and the profusion together with the ellipsis and the oblique nomination; in this way it aims to a trascendence that cannot be reached. The book is shown as the incarnation of the infinite «eros».
