The purpose of this thesis is to study the building procedures of poetic images, which have its creating source on the sight, which means, the creation of images , related with the time and memory on the works of João Cabral de Melo Neto. From his work we selected the written poems from Museu de tudo (1974), and from that book we chose the poem O Profissional da Memória ; from A Escola das Facas (1980), Prosas da Maré na Jaqueira and Menino de Três Engenhos ; from Crime na Calle Relator (1987), O Circo and Cenas da Vida de Joaquim Cardozo . To analyze the poems, we performed a research on the importance that time and memory acquired along with human existence and the figures of speech related to the metaphoric speech. In the analysis of the poem, we tried to seize how João Cabral de Melo Neto puts in his poems, conceptions of time and memory. We could verify that time and memory, in poemas Cabralinos are turned into images which are vivified in different metaphors. This work is divided in three chapters. The first one approaches questions about time and memory, and the worries with the effects caused by the time and the role of memory on the attempt to preserve the events against the effects caused by the oblivion. The second describes the path of metaphor and its spread. The third comprises metaphoric procedures on the act of building time and memory in the poems. Amongst other conclusions, we realized that the worries related to time and memory shown in the very beginning of the poet s career turned into an obsessive attempt of seizing the ephemeral time and the consequences that it brings about
