Abstract

The article discusses the relationship between sacred and profane in the poetry of Mário de Andrade in the early 1920s. Six poems are analyzed: “Noturno”, “Jorobabel”, “XXXIII”, “XXXIII (bis) Platão”, “Carnaval carioca” and “Religião”. For this, we dialogue with the concept of “harmonic verse”, as explained in the avant-garde manifesto “Prefácio interessantíssimo”, published in the book Pauliceia desvairada (1922). The goal is to show how the sacred-profane axis relates to more general dualities present in the verses of the modernist author, as life and writing, human and divine, language and reality, among others.
