Abstract

The present research studies the poetry from the Portuguese symbolist poet Camilo Pessanha, considering his relation with the French authors Paul Verlaine and Stéphane Mallarmé, aiming to display that Pessanha surpasses by far the \"Portuguese Verlaine\" image, by proposing an innovative and fragmentary writing, which in some aspects nears mallarmean writing, although preserving his entire identity and originality. To that end, the formal principles from the symbolist poetic found in the works of the three aforementioned poets were observed, especially sonority as means of suggestion. Moreover, it was analyzed how the use of intricate syntax in fragmentary poems can assist the musical and pictorial effects of the poem to evoke images. It is expected to disclosure the similarities, dissonances and specificities between the poetic of the aforementioned authors, in an attempt to establish contact points between the Camilo Pessanhas writing and the poetics of Paul Verlaine and Stéphane Mallarmé. Camilo Pessanhas place in the Portuguese symbolist movement was also studied, considering that he was, among the Portuguese poets, the one who neared the Parisian symbolism the most, though he did not live much in Portugal. Finally, it was intended to highlight the great importance from these three poets to the development of what we stipulated to name the lyrical modernity. (AU)
