Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the transformative potential of epiphany whereas it also intends to analyze one poem by Adélia Prado, “Epiphany” (Bagagem, 1976). As a complement to the aforementioned discussion, we offer a commentary on the poem “Momento”, which was published in the same book. In examining temporality in modern literature, the so-called profane illumination emerges as a particularly relevant phenomenon, as evidenced by its appearance in the works of various authors. Potential interconnections can be identified with related concepts, such as Nietzsche’s untimely and Walter Benjamin’s nowness, among others. This will be discussed further in order to develop some correlations and expand our understanding of this form of manifestation.
