摘要:Two twentieth-century Portuguese poets, António Gedeão (1906-1997) and Jorge de Sena (1919-
1978), are here approached with regard to their treatment of the theme of the sea in their respective
poetry. Two representative poems are read in the light of two earlier French sources, respectively: the
physicist Sadi Carnot’s pioneering work in the area of thermodynamics (1824) becomes a
metaphorical poetical “law” in Gedeão’s “A Lesson on Water”; Debussy’s Prelude entitled “La
Cathédrale Engloutie” becomes the archetypal image of the poet’s initiation into creative selfconsciousness.
Gaston Bachelard’s L’eau et les rêves provides an understanding of key features of
the complex poetics at work in these two major poets.
