"Et erubuit". Color and Matter Symbolism in Neo-Latin Epigrams
Abstract
The expression uidit et erubuit at the end of R. Crashaw’s famous epigram on the miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding feast in Cana responds to a type of poetic closure that is very common in neo-Latin poetry. Examination of a few examples shows that this type of ending is linked to a series of contexts related in turn to certain motifs and symbols. One must not think so much about the direct influence of some texts on others as about the existence of a kind of poetic sensitivity in keeping with the time.
