description The article "Canções de Beber e Outras Visitas" (Manuel Afonso Costa) proposes a cultural and intertextual reading of a set of lyrical texts that reenact, in the form of songs and confidences, the circulation of classical motifs and their reconfiguration in environments of "cosmopolitan" sensibility. The central argument holds that the figures of wine, wind, bamboos, clouds, and poetic encounter function less as thematic ornaments than as passage devices between worlds: between civility and retreat, desire and vanitas, social life and liminal experience. Methodologically, the author proceeds through comparative approximations and close reading, articulating explicit references to poets and writing regimes (e.g., Wei Mu, Wang Wei, Ruan Ji, Li Bai, Xu-Mo, Han-Shan), to evince how metaphors and textual allusions consolidate a common affective grammar. The conclusions highlight that poetry emerges as a practice of existential orientation ("one can even live in the midst of men"), while simultaneously dramatizing impermanence (aging, death, the flowing of rivers) and legitimizing forms of sociability mediated by song, intimacy, and wine. Thus, the analyzed texts reveal Macao as a possible mirror of cultural crossings, where languages and images regroup into new constellations of meaning.
