POETIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN "SEGUE O TEU DESTINO", BY FERNANDO PESSOA

Abstract

This article seeks to outline certain compositional transformations provided in the poem "Segue o teu destino", by Fernando Pessoa, pointing out the proficiency of the poetic changes materialized in the literary modality of the ode. To make these contours, the study adopts interlocutions between elements of the theories of the poetic genre and reflective segments of comparative literature, and seeks to highlight similarities and differences between literary texts and the developments arising from intertextual transformation. The following are the returns of the investigation: the fruitful transformation of a textual modality for the Portuguese language scenario; the sound arrangement in different confluences; the dissemination of poetic vectors in a new literary configuration; and the reordering of the philosophical interfaces of the ode.
