From Rhythm to Topic: Horacian themes in a crepuscular poem by Manuel Bandeira

This paper consists of an analysis of the poem “Chama e fumo”, from As Cinzas das Horas, first book by Manuel Bandeira, regarding specially formal aspects and horacian themes within it. Moreover, it is intended to discuss how the modernist poet interweaves elements related both to classic and end of century symbolist tradition, considering some of the main ancient poetry themes, as theorized by Francisco Achcar in his book Lírica e Lugar-comum - Alguns Temas de Horário e sua presença em português, such as the topic of transience and its variations: carpe diem and the invitation to love.

MARKS OF GRATUITOUSNESS: THE PERCEPTION OF EXISTENTIALIST PATHOS AT THE POEM THE NAUSEA BY FELIPE FORTUNA

ABSTRACT: The present article is an hermeneutic reading of the poem The nausea, written by Felipe Fortuna, with the purpose of exploring the poetic work through a quadridimensional vision of the artistical object, in which the elements – the writer, the society (sociable forms, ideologies, programs, pedagogies, codes and stratification zones), the work and the imaginary (symbol image’s constellations gathered around regimes or postures) – are closely related. Equally, this work intends to demonstrate, using an hermeneutic perspective, guided by the classical hermeneutics, all the elements that compose the poem show themselves as a single and coherent shape, indissoluble association moved by a pathos that stimulates the work.   KEY WORDS: Gratuitousness, pathos, imaginary, Felipe Fortuna.
