A mensagem de Fernando Pessoa: poesia, misticismo, messianismo

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze orthonomic poetry of Fernando Pessoa in the poetic work Mensagem. In our research, we examine Fernando Pessoa like one of his heteronyms and the orthonomic poetry like a poetic that recalls archaic values of poetry. In these archaic values the poetry is the language from divine inspiration. This way, the poet is a divinity messenger and the poetry is the divinity message. From this perspective, the poetry is a language more mystic than artistic. In the Mensagem, Fernando Pessoa shows us this poetic conception. We analyze this poetry with the support of the Plato s philosophical theories, specifically the poetic theory of the Ion dialogue. This orthonomic poetry is the recall of the archaic poetic and Orpheus s religious precepts, whose poetry is the channel. For this, we investigate the poet like a messenger that sings a divinity language through the myth and the poetry like a religious language
