Melancolia e ironia frequentemente cooperam para impulsionar a revitalização literária. O congraçamento entre os dois conceitos faculta ainda a abertura de novas vias para o belo, a partir da assunção de um posicionamento marginal ou dissidente. Neste texto, busca-se descrever a presença dessa fértil cooperação no processo de emergência do poema em prosa e de criação de uma estratégia de produção calcada na negatividade. Observa-se, assim, que Aloysius Bertrand, Charles Baudelaire e Arthur Rimbaud recorreram a esse último gênero poético em busca da originalidade e do contraste, terminando por desencadear o que Stéphane Mallarmé chamaria posteriormente de crise de verso.

It is shown how the secondary structure of proteins, musical forms and verses of poems are approximately ruled by universal laws relying on graph coverings. In this direction, one explores the group structure of a variant of the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein and the group structure of apolipoprotein-H, passing from the primary code with amino acids to the secondary structures organizing the foldings. Then one look at the musical forms employed in the classical and contemporary periods. Finally, one investigates in much detail the group structure of a small poem in prose by Charles Baudelaire and that of the Bateau Ivre by Arthur Rimbaud.

In 1954, French critic René Étiemble controversially put forward a ground-breaking thesis that exposed a hitherto unrecognised threat to the integrity and rigour of Rimbaud scholarship: namely, that objective evaluation of his poetry was becoming increasingly impeded by the profusion of highly subjective powerful myths about his short, but eventful life. This article has three aims: first, to retrace the origins and lingering impact of the most dominant myths surrounding Arthur Rimbaud –specifically the contrasting myths of the ‘Catholic convert’ and the ‘rebel artist’; secondly, through a comparative analysis of the works on Rimbaud published by Jack Kerouac and Stéphane Mallarmé, to explore the extent to which the Beat author and the Symbolist poet respectively colluded with, or questioned these myths; thirdly, to conclude that Mallarmé’s text emerges as the more balanced and convincing of the two: first, because contrary to Kerouac’s excessive self-identification with Rimbaud, especially through the seductive myth of the rebel artist, it adopts a critical distance that amply fulfils Étiemble’s timely call for a ‘de-mythologised’ approach to this poet as the prerequisite for any accurate assessment of his poetry; secondly, and more broadly, because by portraying Rimbaud as a poet whose literary reputation owes as much to the preconceptions and agendas of outside influences beyond his control than to his intrinsic artistic merits, Mallarmé’s text is equally prescient in its identification of the pitfalls of our modern-day celebrity culture.

O texto acima transcrito e traduzido faz parte de um extenso ciclo de poemas em prosa, intitulado Senilia, que Ivan Turguênev escreveu em fins de sua vida. Graças à profundeza filosófica de seu conteúdo, bem como à intensa expressividade de sua forma, ele ombreia com O esplim de Paris de Charles Baudelaire, As iluminações de Arthur Rimbaud e semelhantes obras-primas da literatura mundial. A tristeza existencial do autor, sua irremediável decepção com os rumos espirituais da humanidade, as dúvidas metafísicas que o afligiam desde a juventude, tornando-se cada vez mais dolorosas à medida que ele envelhecia, manifestam-se nessa obra com uma força arrebatadora.

Publicado em 1916, o livro de poemas Divina Quimera, de Eduardo Guimaraens (1892-1928), estabelece, em suas inúmeras referências, relações com as obras e os textos críticos de Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), Edgar Allan Poe (1809- 1849), Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898), entre outros. Sua configuração, calcada na alternância de caráter das cinco partes, permite-nos aproximá-lo da forma musical fantasia, ao mesmo tempo em que “redivive” o projeto de Mallarmé de incorporar nas Letras a anatomia da música, elegendo o ritmo (e não a progressão lógica) como princípio organizador da coletânea.

Vicente Quirarte (Ciudad de México, 1954) reunió algunos de sus ensayos sobre viajes, viajeros y caminos literarios en Viajes alrededor de la alcoba (1993). Este libro toma por título la máxima de otro poeta mexicano, Xavier Villaurrutia. Desarrolla la idea clásica de quien se mueve desde su habitación con la lectura de crónicas que le llevan a imaginar un mundo más saludable. A partir de ciertos motivos itinerantes que recorre Vicente Quirarte —como el flâneur de Charles Baudelaire o Walter Benjamin, el doppelgänger de Arthur Rimbaud, el homeless de Leopold Bloom o Die Verwandlung de Franz Kafka— estableceremos una poética de la ecocrítica urbana que se viene defendiendo en la lírica mexicana. La reescritura genera un diálogo constante entre diversos tiempos y espacios. Atendemos a distintas perspectivas del viaje: como proceso de escritura, desde la historia o la arquitectura, el viaje físico o conjetural, hasta llegar a la infancia como separación, iniciación y retorno. Si nos fijamos en la tradición que hereda y renueva el poeta, advertimos un elogio del espacio urbano (Ciudad de México, Praga o Nueva York) y de los animales (el perro, la ballena o las hormigas) en contra de ese final voluntario que es el suicidio. Se trata de elementos también presentes en Alejandro Tarrab o Esther M. García. La literatura permite establecer un viaje interior que beneficie a la vida en comunidad, con una conciencia del medio, solo entre la multitud.

Odilon Redon was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, etcher, and pastellist. His ability to master various materials and techniques has often left him associated with no single oeuvre or style in particular. Nevertheless, Redon is chiefly considered a key visual artist of the Symbolism movement. His fierce rejection of realism, passionate endorsement of self-consciousness, and his interest in the relationship between image and text cemented Redon as a significant though often underestimated contributor to modernism. Redon’s belief that images should function equally well with or without text established the artist as a provider of a new form of illustration, which operated as a sort of visual stimulant more profound than mere words. Furthermore, the modernist tendency towards scrupulous and somewhat masochistic analyses of every aspect of existence, often manifested in aesthetic introspection, is clear in both Redon’s dreamy yet disturbing artwork and his journal entitled À Soi-même [To Oneself] (1867–1915). His relationship with key French writers, such as Charles Baudelaire and Stéphane Mallarmé, and his production of increasingly surreal and abstract artwork resulted in his adoption by a plethora of modernist movements, including art nouveau, Surrealism, Expressionism and Fauvism.

Sophus Claussen is considered one of the foremost Danish poets of the period spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. As a regular contributor to the Symbolist journal Taarnet (1893–1894), published by Claussen’s fellow writer and friend Johannes Jørgensen (1866–1956), he became representative of a current which—apart from its Symbolist predicate—might aptly be described in terms of spiritual modernity. Sophus Claussen’s models were Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine and Stéphane Mallarmé. In keeping with the so-called "Modern Breakthrough" spearheaded by Danish critic and scholar Georg Brandes, Claussen confronted the Church and traditional Christianity. It was a conflict that led Claussen not to enlightenment, realism and naturalism, but to a continued quest for a spiritual dimension, in direct opposition to the more profane modernism espoused by Brandes. Like the French Symbolists, Claussen perceived the manifestations of the world as representations of an underlying, all-encompassing divine truth with which the poet in his art was compelled to seek affinity. This neo-Romantic yearning towards a higher form of spiritual reality transcending visible (phenomenal) manifestations is accompanied in Claussen’s work by an apprehensive, sceptical consciousness whose only certain knowledge is that of its own ignorance.
