Valman, 2011): ¿Phantasy is a chief characteristic of Virgil Diaconüs poetry. We can find here the fervor of the accepted sacrifice, a delicate cynicism of the cancelling of the real, favorable to the lyrical condition. Without doubt, in this book there are pages that will make reader who loves poetry to read it again.¿ Another retriever, Alex. ¿tef¿nescu, writes in his article Plumbul transformat în aur (Lead Turned into Gold) published in the România literar¿ magazine: ¿This book, with a discreet and peaceful title, Secol, conains a lot of lyrical dynamite, as the poet blows up our chronic indifference for poetry. All the poems are special by the intensity of the emotion. At a historic unfavorable moment for poetry, Virgil Diaconu turns poetry into a religion and has become one of its best servants.
