#Osório de Castro : a poet of India
Maria Luísa Malato
#Documento (.pdf)    
#Abstract
Osório de Castro (1868-1942) was a Portuguese poet known as an example, in Portugal, of Symbolism, Parnassianism and Decadent Movements, literary currents marked by exotic and anachronistic themes, things out of place or out of time like tigers and ruins, with frequent allusions to Oriental places. In fact, he worked in India for a certain period where he published a book of poems (A Cinza dos Mirtos/ [The Ash of the Myrtles], Panjim/Nova Goa, 1906). where exotic themes are constantly exemplified. However, it seems to us that a strange inversion occurred: in a local context, exotic or anachronistic themes became common, and common themes became, in a certain way, exotic and anachronistic. To Castro, India emphasized ambiguity: victory is just the other side of defeat, and History has been a Tale. This essay aims to reflect upon the complexity of the literary and philosophical dialogue between Occident and Orient, considering the singularity of Castro’s poetry.
