This paper studies the treatment of horror and death in Tomás González's work, set in relation with the sublime concept and public writer statements. The analysis emphasizes three aspects: the contrast between individual and cosmic times, the abyss's image as a possible look out into infinity, and the co-presence of beauty-horror, life-death. In this characterization the role of the search for de-intellectualized experience sticks out as a means for shaping the problem into an aesthetic form. The effect is an appeased assumption of horror and death, integrated to life and to beauty.
