Abstract

LEON, Margarita. "Nox", de Concha Urquiza, entre la noche del sentido y la noche oscura. Acta poét [online]. 2008, vol.29, n.2, pp.159-174. ISSN 2448-735X.

The paper analyzes "Nox", which is considered the last poem of Concha Urquiza (1910-1945), one of the most important religious poets of México. The poem is shown as a meditation about the spiritual process lived as a failure by the writer, due to her impossibility to approach the mystic union and to preserve faith. Following the different meanings of the symbol "Nox" -"Night", according to the mystic tradition-, the article shows how Urquiza uses and confronts it with her own experience.

Keywords : poesía religiosa y mística; poesía mexicana del siglo XX.
