It is the author of the sonnet book "Murmurs", book of poetry in the style of Symbolist aesthetics, and that led him to establish the following issues: what aspectes the symbolist movement influenced the Mariana Luz in the production of his poetry? Many speculate that Mariana Luz has been influenced by the Symbolist aesthetic, given that his poems have the outstanding characteristics of this style, especially subjectivity, mysticism, sublimation, use of figures of speech and poetic language. When discusses death, for example like liberation, brings religiosity and mysticism, even if unconsciously, for the religious point of view, the die means among other concepts one back to God. And in the works what prevails is a denial of the present and the quest for spiritual transcendence, cosmic integration and the death a way to get spiritual elevation, giving a tendency symbolists of the poet in using interchanged terms of values, like cypress, spectrum and death.
