Quatre poemes amb gall en l’evolució de Joan Vinyoli

Abstract

The article reviews four poems through the extensive evolution of the Catalan poet Joan Vinyoli, which have a concurrent poetic motif: the one of the cock, a specially outstanding motif because it includes a double complementary scope simultaneously: on the one hand, it is an animal that breaks silence with its shout; and, on the other hand, he is the being who, from the dark, announces the arrival of the dawn and the light. Because of these two aspects it will become a permanent image with a clear symbolic load that the author will exploit to speak of the search of the poet and the investigation in the poetic creation.
