- The evolution of his poetry was the opposite of that of Ruben Dario- Was formal in Azul, then more intimate, even lonely, in Cantos de vida y esperanza- Finally, he was very contemplative about the world around him in Campos de Castilla- Knew Dario personally, and he was very appreciative of his (Machado’s) works- His influence on modern poetry is questionable- Other poets note how he was not interested in the formalities of writing- Seemed to oppose poetry that was clear, simple, and unadorned- Again, other poets support the influence Dario had on Machado- Soledades and Galerias, XXV representative of the end of Machado’s reflective period, when he

is turning his attention to the landscape around him, especially the landscape of Soria, a city- Proverbios y cantares is a later work, during which time Machado was more philosophical

Notes for Pre-Reading of Poetry by Pablo Neruda:

- Born in Parral, Chile on 7/12/1904- Childhood was filled w/ permanent contact w/ nature- As a result, it became a significant theme in his work- Even as he became a renowned poet, though, he retained his sense of humility- Actually did not have a formal, “bookish” education- His books were the world around him- First book of verse was Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada- The environment around him was not particularly productive, even somewhat neurotic (display

in his work “Walking Around”- His odes allowed him a peaceful look and reflection on something, often from his childhood- Interested in elements of humanity, like love

Un resumen de la actitud de Darío sobre los Estados Unidos

Por Elías Blinkoff

Obviamente de esta obra, A Roosevelt, Darío tiene una actitud muy crítica sobre los Estados

Unidos y las acciones de la nación. Pero, entender porque, es importante reconocer los eventos de la

historia Americana durante este tiempo, alrededor del cambio del siglo. Durante este tiempo, los

EE.UU. tenía un interés solamente en imperialismo y construyendo un imperio en el hemisferio

occidental. Por eso, nuestra nación, con el liderato del Presidente Theodore Roosevelt, comenzada para

crear este imperio, mas importantemente con la Guerra Hispana Americana. Pero, por razones obvias,

Darío y otros individuales en América Latina durante esta época no tenían una buena opinión de las

acciones de los EE.UU. Al contrario, ellos pensaban que nuestra imperialismo fue un idea terrible. Por

eso, nosotros tenemos este poema. Comienzo con la estrofa primera, Darío es muy crítico de las

motivaciones de los Estados Unidos con respeto a su imperialismo, supuestamente religión y otras

razones. También, inmediatamente Darío establece Roosevelt a un cazador, metafóricamente un

cazador de naciones vulnerables y diferentes, por ejemplo las naciones de América Latina.

Simplemente, el piensa que Roosevelt es un idiota porque de estas decisiones estúpidas. En la estrofa

próxima, Darío, otra vez, critica nuestra usa de fuerza, explicando como nosotros, a una nación, se

aprovechábamos de las naciones de América Latina. Él no tiene la misma opinión de nuestra nación,

que nosotros atacábamos por el bien de progreso. Simplemente, con muchas alusiones Darío expone la

hipocresía de la conquista de las naciones de América Latina. Darío dice todas de las innovaciones y

logros de su nación, y otras naciones en la región, pero estas innovaciones no importantes,

aparentemente, por los americanos, y Roosevelt. Darío tiene orgullo por su nación y cultura, y quiere la

nación poderosa de los EE.UU. para entender ese hecho. Por eso, el termina su obra con una palabra de

cuidada por Roosevelt sobre la conquista de los Estados Unidos. Claro que sí, la nación tiene fuerza,

pero no tiene espíritu, solamente violencia e hipocresía.
