| Sumario: | [EN] The most common element in the novels, essays and autobiographical texts by Marguerite Yourcenar is by far this aqua permanens that keeps us alive as a constituent part of our body, the primitive water that covered « the essential and the unlimited » the funeral water of the Nile where the young Antinous voluntarily drowns, the one, fallen from heaven, which governs the attempted murder of Marcella in the person of the dictator, the one, singing, from the Trevi Fountain, the water that purifies Zeno when bathing on the beach at Heyst, that of the sea raging on the Frisian island where Nathanael agonises, devastated by the water that fills his lungs, that of the Canadian rivers covered by the author, or even, the waters that resonate in the ears of Zeno, at the time of his death. The writer, accustomed from childhood to the loose wetlands in the North, to the beaches where she used to play with her friends, to the cruises, to the transatlantic journeys, to the contemplation of water in all its forms, the liquid element is one of the pillars of her imaginary. Through an analysis of these symbolic images that abound in her writings, especially in those of her maturity and the end of her life, we will try to show the richness and variety of representations of water and their function in a large part of Yourcenar’s literary work. |
