RESUMO

The aim of the present work is to reflect upon The eroticism in Murilo Mendes` Poetry in his book Poesia complete e prosa trying to distinguish between sensuousness and eroticism, love and religion, i.e., between sacredness and profanity. In fact, in any reading of his work a link between eroticism, poetry and religion can be detected. In the studied texts the presence of the woman is highlighted: the sensuous, fatal, mysterious, picturesque, the spiritual woman who triggers the erotic feeling of the lyric poet making up the elements of Murilo`s poetry. Driven by love, desire, passion, sensuality, religion, solidarity and the sense of justice, the poet develops eroticism in his poetry and goes from the pleasures of the flesh to the spiritual ones. The study shows that his poetry is embedded in dreams which excite the libidinous energy realized by the erotic language or the exhibition of the sensuous parts of the female body. This leads to an erotic contemplation of the world. Women with surrealistic characteristics either real or unreal, visible or invisible have been present in his poetry since his first book, Poems, Poemas. Also, his memory writings should be considered, The age of the saw , A idade do serrote, which are essencial to understand the author`s academic education as well as the influence of this education upon his poetic construction. Thus, by putting together opposite elements the eclectic writer has been distinguished from the other poets of the Brazilian Modern Movement.
