Complex feeling, manifested by strong affection, love is undoubtedly one of the oldest themes encountered, in general, in the artistic manifestations of humanity and, in particular, in those with literary content. A recurring theme in universal literature, love could not be missing from a poetic creation of ideational scope and imagistic richness such as the one belonging to Nicolae Dabija. So, it can only be unfortunate that Nicolae Dabija’s poetry with an erotic message has not yet tempted the pen of any university student to offer us a study on a topic relevant and in accordance with the academic requirements in force. This is what the literary critic Mihail Dolgan stated years ago, in a conference in 2006, when - paying homage to Dabija on the occasion of his premiere by the Romanian Academy - he said, among other things, that “about the beautiful lyric of the author’s love is yet to be written separately.” Fully aware that an exhaustive approach to the subject exceeds our competencies, we still try to highlight, in the following, some aspects regarding the erotic imaginary in the poetic creation of Nicolae Dabija, illustrating the assertions with verses from the most successful poems of love of the author.
