El tiempo del poema

Abstract

Poetry always refers us to chain associations, its words are linked to a variety of contexts and meanings. Its syntactical constructions refer us to many semantic interpretations. The subjective receptor organizes the meaning according to his own ends, but he must do it parting from the games fixed by the author. The receptor builds a particular time and space. This article states, in an hypothetical way, the purpose of all poetry, and with it the temptation of a cyclical time, in which nostalgia appears as the homesickness of a paradise that is going to come back for ever.
