Bacovia’s erotic poems display the image of regression due to ’the covertly-embeded woman’ of the poetic ego, whose actions determin the death of erotism by means of the androgynous persona. From this point of view, the feminine hypostasis of the poetic ego undertakes a symbolic quest of her own lyrical identity which goes deeper and deeper up to ‚the lead love’, the ultimate point of this journey. Thus, femininity becomes the poetic Otherness which erotically projects existential tourments and death.
