Abstract
In this article, we explore the concept of symbol as a link with the unknown from different points of view, as the anthropological and the mystical. Then we review the ideas about poetry of Juan Eduardo Cirlot to find in them common features between his conception of poetry and the vision of the symbol that we have described. Our hermeneutic methodology consists in a dialogue with the theoretical texts of Cirlot from which we extract new ideas, recognizing that we cannot be sure of having found the “sense of the author”, but at least doing an interpretation based on the original texts, as his Dictionary of Symbols, his articles or his poetic book Brownyn. We state that the concept of symbol and a particular vision of poetry have in common to be a link to an unknown territory of the human being, which enables us to speak about “symbolic poetry”.
