Abstract
José Ángel Valente‟s poetry has a tremendous and unusual symbolic density. This density is favored by the author‟s dual aspiration to reach the spiritual limit of his creation, and the material one at the same time. As an essential components of Valente‟s aesthetic search, we can observe several symbols that work like axis of his poetry. Same of they are the tree, the cross or the mandorla, whose meaning and role will be observed by us. In this paper we will study these different symbols, as well as another images born to those axial symbols like the labyrinth, the snake, the bird or the cloud. Of course, we will link all these symbols and their role in José Ángel Valente‟s poetry with the ultimate meaning of his creation.Downloads
