Pelo Jardim de Eugénio de Andrade: o significado de árvores, flores e frutos na sua poesia
| Resumo: | The poetry of Eugénio de Andrade (1923-2005) is rich in references to certain trees, fruits, flowers, and leaves of grass. In this article, I examine these interesting recurrent elements in Eugenian poetry, emphasizing: a) the symbolic meaning and mythic resonance of several plants; b) the association of these to the ages of the human being; c) the intertextual connection with plants mentioned in books written by other authors. My main objective is to prove that the vegetal elements in the work of the Portuguese writer not only reflect a passion towards nature, but also present an endoliterary, exoliterary and cultural significance. |
