Resumo
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo propor uma leitura para a obra O amor natural (1992), de Carlos Drummond de Andrade, a partir da relação entre os temas do erótico, da morte e do sagrado. No prefácio ao livro, intitulado O erotismo nos deixa gauche?, Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna nos exorta que, com a publicação destes poemas, temos a possibilidade de uma maior compreensão da poesia drummondiana de um modo geral. Sendo assim, buscamos em uma leitura panorâmica no conjunto da obra do poeta identificar como o tema do amor se configura. Nesse percurso, deparamo-nos com as inquietudes dessa poesia, já apontadas por Candido (1965), e compreendemos que no livro em análise elas se prolongam. Diante da inseparabilidade percebida entre os temários amoroso e erótico, que aparecem em toda sua produção poética, e que ganha força em sua produção final, culminando no livro que ora analisamos, buscamos nas confluências entre Georges Bataille (1987) e Octavio Paz (1995) uma definição para o erotismo. Para Bataille (1987), “o erotismo é a aprovação da vida até a morte” e está diretamente ligado a uma transgressão, no domínio da violação. Em Paz, encontramos que é uma atividade exclusivamente humana: é sexualidade socializada e transfigurada pela imaginação e a vontade dos homens. Sendo assim, aproximamos em nossa leitura os temas do Erotismo, da Morte e do Sagrado e percebemos que eles se tangenciam dentro do processo de criação das imagens eróticas drummondianas. Ao traçar essas ligações, entendemos, por meio da linguagem, que aparece agressivamente saudável e elevada para cantar o ato amoroso, que Drummond se inscreve com seus poemas eróticos em uma tradição que perpassa todos os tempos, alcançando uma ascese.
The present dissertation aims at proposing a reading of the work O amor natural (1992), by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, based on the relationship between the themes of eroticism, death and the sacred. In the preface of the book entitled O erotismo nos deixa gauche? Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna exhorts us that, with the publication of these poems, we have, in general, the possibility of a greater understanding of Drummond’s poetry. Thus, we seek, in a panoramic reading in the whole of the poet’s work, identify how the love theme is composed. In this way, we come across the restlessness of this poetry, as already stated by Candido (1965), and we understand that, in the book under analysis, this restlessnessis extended. In the face of the inseparability noticed between the love and the eroticism themes, which appears throughout Drummond’s poetic work, and that gains strength in his final production, culminating in the book that we now analyse, we also seek on the confluences between Georges Bataille (1987) and Octavio Paz (1995) a definition for eroticism. According to Battaile (1987), “eroticism is the approval of life unto death” and it is directly connected to a transgression, in the domain of violation. In Paz, we find out that it is an uniquely human activity: it is sexuality socialized and transfigured by human desire and imagination. Therefore, in our reading, we bring closer the themes of Eroticism, of Death and of Sacred and we perceive that they are tangential to the process of creation of erotic Drummondian images. By tracing these connections, we realise that, through a language that appears agressively healthy and exalted in order to sing the act of love, Drummond is inserted, by means of his erotic poems, in a tradition that crosses all times reaching an ascese.
