Abstract: This essay proposes a close reading of William Carlos Williams’s poem “A Formal Design” from Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962). As the composition refers to the last one of the seven Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries in the collection of the Cloisters Museum (New York), the analogy between Williams’s visual (through typography) configuration as well as auditory (through prosody) dimension and tapestries’ manufacturing techniques as well as texture characteristics is also attempted.
Este artigo propõe uma análise do poema de William Carlos Williams, “A Formal Design”, incluído em Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962). Uma vez que a composição se refere à última das obras de tapeçaria com o título genérico de A Caça ao Unicórnio, existente na coleção do Cloisters Museum (New York), investiga-se a analogia aí presente entre a configuração visual (tipográfica) e a dimensão auditiva (prosódica) do poema e a técnica de manufatura, bem como as características da textura dessa tapeçaria.
