The realization of the uninterrupted flow of time and the consequent awareness of the ephemerality of life and the inevitable certainty of death are topics that remain constant in the literary tradition throughout the centuries. In the specific case of the Mannerist poets - from Camões and Diogo Bernardes to the less canonical Soropita and Rodrigues de Lobo, for example - in baroque lyric, strongly influenced by the program of recatholization as a result of the Counter-Reformation, they will assume a central place, the theme of death being associated with two contradictory but complementary attitudes: the adoption of a vigilant and penitential conduct or the option for existential Portuguese literature, the mannerist and baroque periods (16th-17" centuries) are particularly fertile in the treatment of these themes. If it is true that the reflections about the fugacity of life and the disillusionment of the world abound in the compositions of hedonism. This essay examines the importance given by baroque poets to the theme of death, in its multiple facets and implications, following the tradition of the poets of the period immediately preceding and in close connection with the historical context that serves as a framework for such lyric production.
A constatação do fluir ininterrupto do tempo e a consequente consciência da efemeridade da vida e da inevitável certeza da morte são tópicos que se mantem constantes na tradição literária ao longo dos séculos. No caso concreto da literatura portuguesa, os períodos maneirista e barroco (sécs. XVI-XVII) revelam-se particularmente fecundos no que ao tratamento destas temáticas diz respeito. Se é certo que as reflexões em torno da fugacidade da vida e do desengano do mundo abundam nas composições dos poetas maneiristas de Camões e Diogo Bernardes aos menos canónicos Soropita e Rodrigues de Lobo, e.g. -, na lírica barroca, fortemente influenciada pelo programa de recatolizacao decorrente da Contrareforma, elas vão assumir um lugar central, sendo o tema da morte associado a duas atitudes contraditórias, porem complementares: a adoção de uma conduta vigilante e penitencial ou a opção pelo hedonismo existencial. Neste artigo, passa-se em revista o relevo dado pelos poetas barrocos ao tema da morte, nas suas múltiplas facetas e implicações, no seguimento da tradição dos poetas do período imediatamente anterior e cm intima articulação com o contexto histórico que serve de enquadramento a tal produção lírica.
