Abstract

This article reflects on the nature of the intertextual relationship established between Adriano, a book of poetry by contemporary Portuguese writer Tatiana Faia, and “Antinous”, a long English poem by Fernando Pessoa. The individual and comparative analysis of these works, separated by a century but strongly linked, particularly considers the issues of mourning and survival as thematic aspects with implications for poetic construction and procedures, as well as for the citational work that unites them. The close reading of the texts is linked to the theoretical reflections of Aby Warburg on surviving forms, and of Sigmund Freud and Georges Didi-Huberman on the notion of symptom.
