The influence or “Os balcões sucessivos sobre o rio” of Ruy Belo

Abstract

For Ruy Belo, the influence of tradition on the late poets is inevitable and one who seeks to find its singularity must be aware of this inescapable reality. In this paper, attention is focused on the author’s hypertextual dimension, mainly on “Os balcões sucessivos sobre o rio”, a composition that begins the last book written by Ruy Belo, Despeço-me da terra da alegria (1977), and that gives continuity to the compositional mechanisms and the main problems that characterize the magnificent long poem, A margem da alegria (1974).
