As facetas do sagrado e do literário na poesia mística de San Juan de la Cruz e de Murilo Mendes

Abstract

We will analyze the resemblances between discourse of literature and discourse of Sacred in two mystic poets: San Juan de La Cruz and Murilo Mendes. We will understand the points of contact between the two works. In spite of the two poetical works be so far in time, we find as points of resemblances in them the relationship of Humane and Divine, Eroticism, the Baroque expression. As a difference, we can understand that in San Juan de La Cruz s works we find the expression of subjectivity while, in Murilo Mendes , we see God as a vision of external. We also will see how the two poets overthrow the Scholastic Theology, in choosing the path of mystic theology, searching no-rational but affective desires in the poetical construction of Sacred. The dialogue between lover and beloved will be enriched through a language full of eroticism that makes stand out a tribute to the form that permeates these two poets. Also, the play between immanence and transcendence will appear in the poetry of these authors as a way to demonstrate a poetry that not only follow one path, but indicates a complexity of plural discourses. So, these poets will choose close and distant paths as they speak about the sacred
