<b>Following the memories: between old age and childwood
Abstract
Old age and the passage of time are recurring themes in literature and may also be analyzed by children. This article analyzes the poem As duas velhinhas [The two old ladies], written by Cecília Meireles (1990), from the layers that make up the poetic text. After the structural analysis of the poem, the study establishes relationships with other texts with a similar theme, and signals a dialogue between different manifestations of poetic production. The theme selection presents itself as a possibility to treat the subject, even for young readers, since, even from children’s perspective, the texts show a distinct gaze at the aging process, though they have not been produced for children.
