A Maquina do Mundo by Carlos Drummond de Andrade: poem analyzed

Originally posted em Clear Enigma (1951), or poem "A Maquina do Mundo" é, sem dúvida, some works-prima of a writer from Minas Gerais. The subject matter, as well as its shape, the composition is approximated by two models of classical poetry.

From its own title, a relationship of intertextuality is established with the epic work Os Lusíadas, by Luís Vaz de Camões, considered an unconventional framework of Portuguese language literature.

A Machine of the World

E like eu palmilhasse vaguely
a road of Minas, stony,
I don't date late um but rouco

be mixed ao som de meus sapatos
that it was slow and dry; e birds pairassem
no céu de chumbo, and its pretas forms

slowly fossem diluted
na escuridão maior, vinda dos montes
and of my own to be disillusioned,

the world machine opened
so that he could break, he would dodge
e só o ter thought carpia.

Be majestic and circumspect,
sem emit um som that fosse impure
nem um clarão maior que o tolerável

pelas pupils spent on inspection
continuous and painful desert,
e pela mind exhausted to mention

all a reality that transcends
the image itself is debuted
no rosto do mistério, we abysses.

He opens up in pure calm, and inviting
how many senses and intuitions restavam
What do you mean, I used to lose you?

e nem desejaria will regain them,
it is em vão e forever we repeat
We are the same, sad, sad périplos,

inviting you all, em coorte,
to be applied on or unpublished grass
da mythical nature das coisas,

assim he told me, embora voice somebody
ou sopro ou eco ou simple percussion
it was crowded that somebody, on a montanha,

to another someone, night and misery,
The colóquio was addressing:
"Or that you tried in yourself or out of

you were restricted and never showed,
Same as giving-se or surrendering,
and every moment more I withdraw,

olha, repair, listen: that wealth
leftover at full throttle, essa ciência
sublime and formidable, more hermetic,

this total explanation gives life,
this first and singular nexus,
What else do you conceive, pois tão elusive

it was revealed before a burning investigation
em that you consumed... go, contemplate,
open your peito for agasalhá-lo. "

As more superb pontes and buildings,
or what offices are made,
or what thought foi e logo atinge

distance greater than or thought,
the resources of the terra dominated
the paixões and the impulses and the torments

and everything that defines or terrestrial being
ou lasts até you encourage us
Check out plants to soak in

I don't sound rancorous, two miners
dá volta ao world and returns to engulf
na estranha geometric order of tudo,

e o original absurd e serious enigmas,
its high truths more than so many
monuments erected à verdade;

é a memory two deuses, e o solene
sentiment da morte, that blooms
I do not keep the existence more glorious,

all you apresentou nesse relance
and I chamou for your august kingdom,
at the end submerse to human sight.

But, how does the United States reluctance to respond
to such a wonderful appeal,
pois a fé abrandara, e same or anseio,

to hope more minimal - esse anelo
to see treva espessa faded
that between the raios of the sun inda is filtered;

as deceased creases summoned
Presto e fremente não se produzissem
a de novo tingir a neutral face

what are you walking hairs showing,
and how was another to be, no more that
inhabitant of me for so many years,

passasse to command minha vontade
that, hah if it volúvel, it closed
like those reluctant flowers

em if they are open and dated;
how are you late sun já não fora
appetizing, before firing,

baixei os olhos, incurious, lasso,
From nhando colher to coisa offer
that opened free to meu engenho.

A treva mais estrita já pousara
on the road to Minas, stony,
in the world machine, repelled,

it was very meticulously recomposed,
enquanto eu, valuing or losing,
I was still vague, I thought.

Analysis and interpretation of the poem

Complex and difficult to understand, "A Maquina do Mundo" is two of Drummond's most enigmatic texts. No year 2000, To Folha de São Paulo He considered this to be the greatest Brazilian poem.

Usually, the author's lyric is associated with the second generation of Brazilian modernism, expressing some of their most obvious characteristics: absence of rhyme, free verse and everyday themes, among others. Em Clear Enigma, contudo, or modernist returns to classical influences, both fear not and na form.

Here, there is a rigorous metric concern. Each stanza is a triplet, ou seja, composed of three verses. You verses, for the time, são all decassyllables (formed by ten syllables), adoring the same rhythm that was used in great works such as Os Lusíadas.

The idea of ​​"world machine" is a metaphor for this engrenagens that movem or Universe e os individuals também não é nova. On the contrary, it was quite present in medieval and Renaissance literature. Its most famous manifestation, sem dúvida, or song X of the epic poem written by Camões.

No text, or browser Vasco da Gama has the privilege of knowing this machine, thanks to the nymph Tétis. It is also that he discovers or will derive his destiny and all that is yet to come. O seu enthusiasm from him, not so much, no ecoa us verses written by the Brazilian poet.

Ação begins in Minas Gerais, a place where Drummond was born, something that is close to this little guy. Our dinner every day, or homem is walking on the road when, suddenly, he has a huge revelation. Ele, who is exhausted, "disillusioned", does not know how to react to essa Epiphany.

Perante essa "total explicação da vida", a conhecimento that goes além gives human understanding, or eu-lrico decides to go down the olhos and follow or seu path. Amazed by the greatness of everything that exists, it remains small and fragile, with the hope of understanding a greater thing than it.
