Abstract
CARCANO, Enzo. THE BODY AS VÍAMYSTICA IN SOME TEXTS BY BLAKE AND VIEL TEMPERLEY. La Palabra [online]. 2014, n.25, pp.81-92. ISSN 0121-8530.
The characteristics of Héctor Viel Temperley's poetry have made him a prestigious poet in the Argentinian literary current context. In this poetry, the exaltation of the body, sport, sensuality and sexuality, do not contradict but makes a peculiar way of search for the sacred. In this sense, the poetry of the author of Hospital Británico is related to William Blake's disturbing poetry. Obviously, the tenor of both poetic outputs are different, but a similar attitude towards the body and its exaltation as a way of purification can be noticed in both. In this article, I will study some texts of both authors as examples of a body mystic.
