	 5a Questão (Ref.: 202014375138)
	In a famous essay, The Philosophy of Composition, Edgar Allan Poe writes:
Two things are invariably required-first, some amount of complexity, or more properly, adaptation; and, secondly, some amount of suggestiveness-some under-current, however indefinite, of meaning. It is this latter, in especial, which imparts to a work of art so much of that richness (to borrow from colloquy a forcible term), which we are too fond of confounding with the ideal. It is the excess of the suggested meaning-it is the rendering this the upper instead of the under-current of the theme-which turns into prose (and that of the very flattest kind), the so-called poetry of the so-called transcendentalists.
