BO-TEKO DE POESIAS

IV PART Jean-Paul Sartre, in a revealing essay has likewise tried to show that Faulkner has no conception of the future and that his is an art of despair pointing to the collapse of a descrepit world. Of course, as Sartre has never worried about the language, this despair pointing to the collapse of a decrepit world means the difficulties men find in revealing his feelings without the presence of the intellect and reason. All this, unfortunately, is language totally foreign to its subject. The mythical claims no grasp of the future because it excludes it, just as it excludes the notion of past and present. Nor does it have to deliberately take into account the notion of utility since it deals with primitive data, with destiny, and since each encounter with fate affects any responsive creature with a cleansing, awakening force which surpasses all utilities. Faulkner´s novels share this quality with Greek tragedy. Faulkner´s studied use of a full style and his sense of i...

III PART The technique of interior monologues is replace by a precise, external realism. The author evokes the outer appearance of things with magnificent approximation; current reality glows unexectedly in colors a mere copyist of nature could never find because he sees only the smaller side of the world. A blossoming pear tree; a black staircase with its splash of light from a Grey window; old, unshapen Negro woman clutching a hotwater bottle "by the neck lie a dead hen." how alive these things are! Faulkner often piles up words in a way that brings the charge prolixity. He has willbourne say of his life with Charlote in chicago. "It has the mausoleum of love, it was the stinking catafalque of the dead corpse borne between the alfactoryless walking shapes of the immortal unsentient demand ancient meat." Nevertheless, despite the blunders and despite the habits and the willful bad writing (and willful it obviously is), t...

II PART Faulkner manifests his intent: To seek out the original substance of man, his very being before it takes form. This growth has been made largely without the aid of appreciative criticism, and in the face of some misunderstanding With and abuse of the most dynamic qualities in his writing. It is quite possible that Faulkner would have paid more attention to the critic´s valid objections if these had not been so frequently interlarded with misconception makes it necessary to defend the great innovators against the charge that their renunciation of traditional means implies on inability to use them. With unjustified diffidence, Faulkner explains the strange technique of his novel as the result of a shortcoming. Supposedly he tries to the story, to tell it from different points of view because he thinks he has not yet told it right. But, in fact, with this technique he has reached a realism more total than that of Joyce or anybody else before him. Remembering...

I PART Any work of Literature is to some degree and level an imposture, because it tries to make us accept as exclusively possible, we search for our world a better sense of human being - Art and Reality come together - and even as privileged , a certain point of view - generally a very strange and bewildering one. Falkner´s concept of time may be false, as Sartre declares but its more profound significance, its importance on meaning, lies beyond the true and the false. It is almost religions. If the word may be used for a work apparently so profane - but a work nevertheless comes from the land which make out of the Negro Spirituals. Do not the very title Sanctuary and the name Temple, of the girl who was violated, invite us to use such a term. No other contemporary American novelist of such a stature has been as often or as hardly criticized for his style as has William Faulkner´s admirers must have wished he had blotted a thousand infelicities. However, and enumerati...

INTRODUCTION Before writing "Critique de La Raison Dialectique", Sartre writes his preface just to establish his ways of analysing a phenomenon, his method of trying to compreend and understand the basis of his ideas and thoughts, his philosophy. "Questions de Method" has become the very essencial and fundamental to study and understando Sartre- s philosophy, the knowledge is a way of the being, mut, in a mate rialistic perspective, it´s not allowed to think in reducing the being to the knowledge. Thinik of writing an Essay about Faulkner´s word, we do plan to move a Sartre´s Essay about Falkner: "On the Sound and the Fury: Time in Faulkner´s Work into English, because we knew them, Sartrés ideas, in Portuguese and French. As I had read the upper essay for ages. As I had read "The Sound and the Future", by Faulkner, I thought of improving , developing and increasing, it had been a hard work. For better or for worst, it doesn´t matter; the ...

Apenas uma tentativa, mas me empreenderei no sentido de alcançar os objetivos que, durante a noite, pensei. Não é de meu costume e hábito acordar e ficar pensando em que vou escrever. De antemão, sei que estaria perdendo tempo e sono, pois não escrevo nada do que fora pensado. Sento-me e escrevo, só publico se me causa de algum modo emoção forte.   Na Sexta-feira Santa, Rogério Adriano desta emissora de rádio lê poemas que retratam e representam a Paixão, Morte e Ressurreição de Cristo. A esposa não perde esta oportunidade. Jamais me encontrei com alguém tão apaixonado com Jesus Cristo quanto o é minha esposa. Assim, mostrou-me um poema, pedindo que no sábado, aquando de minha gravação, entregasse a Rogério Adriano. Li. Olhei-a seriamente. “Amor, não acredito que tenha coragem de publicar um poema deste. Está horrível”. Não aprecia nem um pouco que se faça comentários a respeito do que escreve. Interessante, é que adora ser elogiada. Não ficou satisfeita com os comentários fei...
