LAS METAMORFOSIS EN ISLA: OVIDIO Y VIRGILIO PIÑERA, LUCHA CONSTANTE ENTRE EL ODIO Y EL AMOR
Isabel Abellán Chuecos
Resumen
Virgilio Piñera, el isleño que llegó a ser ínsula, amaba al tiempo que odiaba aquella isla que lo tenía prisionero. Desde sus inicios siempre lamentaría el hecho de estar rodeado de agua por todas partes y, sin embargo, acabaría metamorfoseándose en esa “isla” de su poema del ‘79. Amante de Ovidio, las islas podrán ser para ambos tanto castigo como premio, tortura como redención, y entre los resquicios de un estado y otro nos moveremos mientras se van sucediendo las distintas metamorfosis.
ABSTRACT
Virgilio Piñera, the islander who became an isle, both loved and hated the island that had become a kind of prison. From the very beginning he would regret being surrounded by water and yet would end up being metamorphosed into the “island” of that poem of ’79. As a lover of Ovid, islands could for both poets be a form of punishment and also a prize, a source of torture and also of redemption. We shall explore the interfaces between one condition and another to find the different metamorphoses that take place.
