Abstract

The poem “Canção para a nuvem da aeronave”, by Joaquim Cardoso, is a drawing of the movement of the proper poem in direction to the construction of what Ernst Bloch called “prospective horizon”. Speaking of the poem, “Canção…” opposes the mere illusion to the pre-appearance of the real. We intend to explain the possible dialogue between the philosopher and the poet.
