"A Alma Nova" by Guilherme Avelino Chave de Azevedo is a poetic work written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of humanity, justice, and contemporary society through rich and reflective verses. It appears to be a critique of the social and moral degradation of the time, with a focus on the struggles of the individual amidst broader societal issues. The opening of "A Alma Nova" introduces the poetic voice's disdain for the triviality and superficiality of modern poetry, which he feels lacks depth and genuine emotion. Through a series of stanzas, he contrasts the sacred nature of true poetry with the modern tendency to celebrate superficial charm and societal norms. The speaker's reflections evoke the character of Justice as a divine figure, highlighting the age-old battle between virtue and vice, urging a return to purity and authenticity in art and life. The tone is both critical and aspirational, as it seeks to inspire a collective awakening among the denizens of a changing world.
