Abstract

This article features the possible connection among the poem "Alumbramento", by Manuel Bandeira, Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and the ancient Greeks’ aletheia. The metaphysics’ critique on the destinations of Western thinking and man's relationship with the poetic is combined with the contribution of the original, or pre-philosophical, thinkers; rescuing their key issues. The dazzled (or, in Portuguese, alumbrado) gaze of Bandeiras’ poem is transmuted by the thought of Martin Heidegger, through which the aletheia issue is retrieved as the ancient experience of truth; combined with phýsis and logos, in the dimension of the Being, from the Platonic myth, Parmenides’ poem, “On Nature”, and some fragments of Heraclitus.
