Abstract

The article aims to illuminate elements for the comparative reading of two important poem books of twentieth-century Brazilian lyric: Dentro da noite veloz (1975), by Ferreira Gullar and Sentimento do mundo (1940) by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Four poems are analyzed to collect these elements: “Agosto 1964” and “O açúcar” by Gullar and “Noturno à janela do apartamento” and “Elegia 1938” by Drummond. From the analysis, the article seeks to point out similarities and verifiable differences in the participating lyricism of the two poets.
