Abstract

In the poetry of Saint-John Perse, the man is in the center of the concerns of the poet. The Eden translates the place of delights that underlies the human exis- tence by the infinite enjoyment which bases it. Any life cannot understand only by its conquest translating, from the fact, from the imperceptible and insatiable desire of the being. The problem which arouses this quest of such a place is also, at the poet, that of the poetic writing connected to the bright structure of the universe, stemming from the bioluminescence and taken on an aura multicolored and wonderful colors; it could so offer the enjoyment of an existence which insures the sea as microcosm of the Eden, such are the real stakes in the notion in its poetic functioning. The objective of the work is to show that by launching in the conquest of such a space of plenitude, Perse embodies the symbolism of the light and is established as the wise man. This edenic world appears as an universe which, leads to the essential truth, illuminates things.
