O poema “Sinhá”, publicado por Machado de Assis na obra
Crisálidas (1864), seu primeiro livro de poesias, é, neste artigo, analisado em seus aspectos formais, considerando-se suas relações com obras anteriormente compostas por poetas românticos brasileiros, algumas delas já apontadas por outros críticos literários, e outras nunca antes identificadas. A análise revela o senso de equilíbrio do poeta Machado de Assis, assim como a simetria da composição, princípios característicos da arte clássica, como algo que distingue sua poesia da de outros poetas românticos seus contemporâneos. Manuel Bandeira identificara a relação do poema com obras dos poetas Casimiro de Abreu e de Fagundes Varela; este artigo aponta, também, relações do poema “Sinhá” com poesias de Antônio Augusto de Queiroga e de Álvares de Azevedo.

The poem “Sinhá” by Machado de Assis
Abstract:
The poem “Sinhá”, by Machado de Assis, published in his first book of poetry, entitled Crisálidas (1864), is analysed in its formal aspects, establishing connections between it and texts of other Brazilian romantic poets previously identified by other critics, and other relations not yet known by the scholars. The poem’s analysis reveals the author’s sense of stability as well as the simetry of composition, principles of classicism in art, as characteristics of Machado de Assis as a poet, especially in comparison with the romantic poets of his time. Manuel Bandeira has identified relations between “Sinhá” and poems by Casimiro de Abreu and by Fagundes Varela. This article points out also relations with poems by Antônio Augusto de Queiroga and Álvares de Azevedo.
