WHEN DID NATURE STOP TALKING TO THE POET? PORTUGUESE POETRY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Keywords:
liber mundi, interpretation, legibility of the world.Abstract
This essay posits that Portuguese poetry of the second half of the 19th century represents an unbridged gulf within modernity. It separates the belief in a world embodied in nature, to which the Poet has access by reading the book of nature, on the one hand, and, on the other, a rising disbelief that the world is readable, or even that it may be viewed as a book. The death of God is a corollary of this loss of meaning.
