The clause and the bottle: a poem by Álvaro de Campos

Authors

  • Marcus Alexandre Motta UERJ

Keywords:

Poem, ordinary, history and indifference.

Abstract

This article intends to think Lacoue-Labarthe’s maxim – “poetry’s courage is prose” -, from a poem made of only one verse that cannot be distinguished from an ordinary sentence. In this way, this article tries to comprehend the poem’s indifference beauty through the relation established with a Waltercio Caldas’ contemporary work of art, “Garrafas com rolha”.
