Abstract

When we touch one text or the soul of the other, we are touching something that has the same texture. In the poetic pessoana, the soul has the same constitution of the word. In the same way as a text can be veiled to the interpreter, a soul can also be veiled to an observer. In the vicinity of this veiling, we despair through the fragility of our own limit that is unable of interpreting the wordsoul. To alleviate the despair that competes with the anguish, we often use the assumptions established by methodology or epistemology. However, such valency drives us away from the simple possibility of seeing and takes our despair to a state of momentary latency. The waiting in patience is a resistance that can protect us from the established hermeneutic designs, letting the soul itself experience a new possibility of interpreting / seeing that is uncovered in the listening to the freedom of anguish.
