Spaces
Spaces - meaning Summary
Space as Generative Void
Paz's poem treats space not as empty absence but as a dynamic, self-generating force. Through sudden, luminous images—whirlpools, suspended clarities, crystalline and smoky gardens—the poem collapses distance and origin, making space both container and event. The final image of a corolla dissolving and a place of "impalpable nuptials" suggests creation as intimate union rather than ordered structure, so that being and non-being interpenetrate within an ambient, formative void.
