Abstract

This study examines the relations between poetry and the sacred in the poetic work of Cecília Meireles, demonstrating that the lyrical subject, by perceiving the alterity of the world, is brought to meet its own alterity, in a search in which the imagined future is intertwined with diffuse memories of the origin. The work, to develop the proposed analysis, adopts as theoretical basis the thesis of Michel Collot, who is dedicated to landscape studies in literature and takes as support Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology and the thematic criticism of Jean-Pierre Richard.
