Influențe sămănătoriste în poezia socială a lui Panait Cerna

Abstract

Until the end of the 19th century and the next period, Romanian poetry resonated with society like European poetry. She became a modeler of the ideals of current themes or situations. In a period of social and cultural effervescence, the social poetry of Panait Cerna brings to the fore the feeling of solidarity between others, the objectof this feeling being the Romanian nation, especially the class of the enslaved.
Panait Cerna presents himself as an optimist even in social writing because in the dialectic of Cerna’s meditation there is no lack of hope, the hypothetical vision of a social harmony, the purpose of the struggle ending enmity.
Alternating the tragic image of peasantry from 1900 with the feeling of minimized love, whose role is often to temper the intensity of pain and social inequalities, are Cerna's texts such as: „Towards peace”, „Triumph”, „Days of Pain” or „People”, texts in which the poetic idea acquires a similar influence by the idyllization of life of peasants.
