O amor através dos poetas

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the lyrical style, highlighting how the sound and semantic aspects come together to configure the unity of the poem, focusing on studying the theme of poetic love. They are poems written in three distinct literary periods, but which portray lyricism when they speak of poetic love. This study makes allusions related to Emil Staiger's theories regarding the mood, the time of the poem and the proximity provided by the lyrical style, in addition to applying such studies by the author to the poems: “Custódia” by Gregório de Matos, “Amor”, by Álvares de Azevedo and “Bilhete” by Mário Quintana. According to Staiger, the sound analysis of a poem is not relevant when it is disconnected from the theme proposed by the text, which forms the basis of this study.
