Dos poetas. San Juan de la Cruz en Edgar Bayley

Abstract

En “La vigilia y el viaje” de Edgar Bayley destaca una temporalidad del instante que presenta conexiones con las “Llama de amor viva” y el “Cántico espiritual” de San Juan de la Cruz.La intertextualidad afecta a aspectos como el elemento emocional, deliberadamente velado en su poética y ciertas diferencias básicas en cuanto al referente: San Juan pretende superar la discontinuidad del ser, Bayley simplemente instalarse en el devenir temporal. “La vigilia y el viaje” by Edgar Bayley shows a notion of discontinuous time, a key to his semiosis. In some other aspects, we find out that considering this relationship enhances the argentinian’s poem, as it underlines the emotional element, veiled on purpose in his poetic. In San Juan de la Cruz there is a wish of surpassing the discontinuance of being in its earthly existence through the death of the sel. Instead, in Bayley, the desire is of being fully installed in temporality with all of its accidents.
