Keywords:
Guimarães Rosa, nature, crossing, ecstasy, mysticAbstract
This study analyzes three texts by Guimarães Rosa, the short story “São Marcos”, by Sagarana, excerpts about the crossing of the Liso do Sussuarão, in Grande sertão: veredas, and the novel “Buriti”, by Corpo de Baile, in which the relationship with nature it provides an experience of violent ecstasy, which pulls the subject out of his ordinary condition and throws him into the “extreme of the possible” of his humanity. In these narratives, Rosa develops a dialogue with the mystical tradition, whose main mark is the experience of the sacred as an overcoming of the limits of the human. Language is the way through which these crossings, requiring an exercise of language outside the established determinations or conventions.
