Esse movimento descobriu algo que ainda não havia sido conhecido ou enfatizado antes: a “poesia pura”, a poesia que surge do espírito irracional, não conceitual da linguagem, oposto a toda interpretação lógica. Assim, a poesia nada mais é do que a expressão daquelas relações e correspondências, que a linguagem, abandonada a si mesma, cria entre o concreto e o abstrato, o material e o ideal, e entre as diferentes esferas dos sentidos.
Sendo a vida misteriosa e inexplicável, como pensavam os adeptos desse movimento, era natural que fosse representada de maneira imprecisa, vaga, nebulosa, ilógica e ininteligível.
(Afrânio Coutinho. Introdução à literatura no Brasil, 1976. Adaptado.)
O comentário do crítico Afrânio Coutinho refere-se ao movimento literário denominado

Ricardo Reis é, assim, o heterônimo clássico, ou melhor, neoclássico: sua visão da realidade deriva da Antiguidade greco-latina. Seus modelos de vida e de poesia, buscou-os na Grécia e em Roma.
(Massaud Moisés. “Introdução”. In: Fernando Pessoa. O guardador de rebanhos e outros poemas, 1997.)
Levando-se em consideração esse comentário, pertencem a Ricardo Reis, heterônimo de Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), os versos:

In today’s political climate, it sometimes feels like we can’t even agree on basic facts. We bombard each other with statistics and figures, hoping that more data will make a difference. A progressive person might show you the same climate change graphs over and over while a conservative person might point to the trillions of dollars of growing national debt. We’re left wondering, “Why can’t they just see? It’s so obvious!”
Certain myths are so pervasive that no matter how many experts disprove them, they only seem to grow in popularity. There’s no shortage of serious studies showing no link between autism and vaccines, for example, but these are no match for an emotional appeal to parents worried for their young children.
Tali Sharot, a cognitive neuroscientist at University College London, studies how our minds work and how we process new information. In her upcoming book, The Influential Mind, she explores why we ignore facts and how we can get people to actually listen to the truth. Tali shows that we’re open to new information – but only if it confirms our existing beliefs. We find ways to ignore facts that challenge our ideals. And as neuroscientist Bahador Bahrami and colleagues have found, we weigh all opinions as equally valid, regardless of expertise.
So, having the data on your side is not always enough. For better or for worse, Sharot says, emotions may be the key to changing minds.
