In the book "Earth and Dreams of Rest," philosopher Gaston Bachelard continues his exploration of the poetic ontology of images dedicated to the element of earth. This work concludes the diptych that was begun in "Earth and Dreams of Will"...
and focuses on the images of rest, home, shelter, root, and sleep — through which a person intuitively masters their place in the world. Bachelard analyzes the works of Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire, Rilke, Novalis, Edgar Allan Poe, Jean-Paul Sartre, and other authors to show how the earth becomes a symbol of inner refuge and the cessation of movement. He develops concepts of the home as protection, the cave as the primary shelter, the root as a symbol of stability, and the labyrinth as a structure of meditative solitude. For the reader exploring the intersections of philosophy, poetic imagination, and psychoanalytic thought. "To enclose oneself — that is the great human dream. To attain the enclosure of primal rest — that is the desire revived from the moment we begin to dream calmly."
