“Durch Leiden, Freude”: On the genesis of “Això es la joia” by Màrius Torres

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to show the two processes of the genesis, lato sensu, of “Això és la joia” by Màrius Torres. The first outlines the path along which the poet lays the stones of the construction of his own reflections, the germ of ideas and feelings (such as pain, melancholy, joy), in anticipation of an explosion towards the outside, of a determined literary materialization. The second process is constituted by the material genesis of the poem, when, after the impact caused by “Das ist die Sehnsucht” by Rilke, he elaborates a first version of the text which, thanks to a commentary by Joan Sales, he reworks and turns, in a second version, into this little gem of 20th-century Catalan poetry.
