The task of recovering the poetry of language, by Guimarães Rosa, is not merely a matter of ingenuity, though it obviously involves it. The reality of the speech, as expressed in the language, must be considered as a reference to poetry, detaching it both from instrumentality and from representation. His initiative is to bridge the gap which sprang open between these two aspects: language and speech, leading them to their common origin. According to Rosa, the re-empowerment of speech in the material language is the most complete way to recover our dignity. It is the amorous commitment that animates Rosa’s language. The article discusses its relationship with speech based on a detailed reading of extracts from his book “Grande Sertão: Veredas”.
