ABSTRACT

Fire is a recurrent central theme in poetry. Yu Kwang-chung’s verse is full of the recurrent image of fire, with objects either burning or luminous firing the imagination and giving shape to verses of passion. Based on the theory of “fire” by the prominent 20th Century scientific philosopher and poetics theorist, Gaston Bachelard, this article attempts to identify the reverence for fire and the symbolic meaning of the Promethean complex in Yu’s poetry, and to explore the true feelings and sentiments of his verse.
