The present thesis was born of the following observation: the reader of literature, by letting himself be carried away by the work, attending to its rhythm, its ambience, finally, to its plot, not giving too much attention to the sense that underlies to the text, he will experience moments of true intensity, because he will be totally involved with the fictional universe, to the point of feeling the tangible presence of what is evoked by the work; the mystic, by placing his attention in the presence of the divine, seeking to enter into his mystery, will be so deeply involved in this sacred atmosphere that he may experience intense moments of the truly palpable presence of God. The core of these experiences lies in the spatial relationship that the reader has with the text and that the mystic has with the divine. In the thesis, this spatial relationship is called production of presence, following the conceptions of the literary theorist, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, on the subject. In the course of the chapters of this work, the conjugation between mystical experience and aesthetic experience will be demonstrated, based on the concepts about the effects of presence. The link between these experiences will be approached in the thesis from the non-interpretative reading of Cecília Meireles chronicles and poems; From these texts, we sought to make judgments that will seek to point out the paths to the mentioned moments of intensity. Finally, it should be noted that the aesthetic and mystical experiences come from real practical exercises in which the education of the senses and the disposition for contemplation are emphasized, which on a religious level is related to the search for attention in the divine, and in instances literary, is the search for a concentration in the work, in view of the enchantment, the appreciation and the amazement by what is read.
