Alejandra Pizarnik – Sophia de Mello – “espanto” – luz – poesíaAbstract
Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) and
Sophia de Mello Breyner (1929-2004) are two
of the most celebrated poets in their countries.
They were both very different, but they shared
an “espanto” for light, if we understand “espanto” with the ambiguous meaning it has in
Portuguese: as ‘horror’ and as ‘astonishment’. In which concerns to the Argentinian poet, it was clear that she preferred thinking
about light as horror; on the other hand, in which concerns to the Portuguese
poet, the light is a synonym for astonishment and clearness.
