IN poetry, allegory never occurs; il
is certainly talked about, but when one
goes. in search of it one does not find
1T, since it is vain shadow even in ap-
pearance, much more as reality, Allie
cory is found IN connection 1Uith (my
ltalics) poetry in two cases. First.
when allegory is joined to poetry ob
e@tra, when it has been decreed by an
act OF will, as we said, that certain per-
sonages, actions, words, contained in
the poem, should also bear the meaning
OF certain fact that has occurred or
VIII occur, or of areligious truth or
moral Judgment or whatever else it NAV
be. IN this case it is clear that the
poetry remains intact and that it alone
can concern its own history.
The second case is when the allie
CORY does not let the poetry exist or
does not allow it to appear, replacing IL
with crowd of discordant images
poetically frigid and mute, which. for
tnat reason, are not true images, but
simple signs, and in this case
there is no object whatever for the
history Of poetry, but only confession
