The mother archetype in the poetry of Grigore Vieru

Abstract

Grigore Vieru created a poem about children and childhood, and in the middle of it arranged a mother’s image. Marked with the irrepressible wish to his mother, even being an adult, he was looking avidly for returning to the lost paradise of childhood. By intermedium of the poems for children about the mother and the entire environment, Vieru helped the little reader to discover the sense of the Universe. The living beings guided the children through harmony and continual rejoice. The poet was looking for discovering some primary needs of an infantile being, identifying them with the child itself. The theme about the mother after Vieru consists of worship of traditions, the religion of sincerity, and the personal myth.
