Bernardo Guimarãesの英語

Bernardo Joaquim da Silva Guimarães (August 15, 1825 — March 10, 1884) was a Brazilian poet and novelist. He is the author of the famous romances A Escrava Isaura and O Seminarista. He also introduced to the Brazilian poetry the "verso bestialógico" (translated roughly as "silly verse"), poems whose verses are very nonsensical, although very metrical. Under the "verso bestialógico", he wrote polemical erotic verses, such as "O Elixir do Pajé" ("The Peai's Elixir") and "A Origem do Mênstruo" ("The Menstruation's Origin"). A non-erotic poem written in "verso bestialógico" is "Eu Vi dos Polos o Gigante Alado" ("From the Poles I Saw the Winged Giant").
