Parallelism, Free verseAbstract
The existence of coincident themes and poetic resources in Whitman's Song of Myself and Salutation to Walt Whitman, by the heteronym Álvaro de Campos, by Fernando Pessoa, motivated the comparative analysis of the two poems in this article. The discussion focuses especially on the parallelism present in the poems, and the question of considering the principle of parallelism as the essence of the poetic artifice.Downloads
