El único texto de García Lorca que sin discusión se reconoce como escrito en Cuba es este poema, "Son de negros en Cuba", un canto a la capital del Oriente cubano y a su ritmo típico. Algunos estudiosos han visto su origen en una conversación mantenida durante la visita del poeta al valle del Yumurí; al comentar la belleza del paisaje, alguien afirmó que en Santiago de Cuba había parajes todavía más hermosos, y Lorca, entusiasmado, dijo que no se iría sin visitar esa ciudad.

Es importante templar el pulso de quién disparará por ti cuando no te queden balas. Así que tengo una noticia buena y una mala: la mala es que, en esta vida, vas a tener que ir más de una vez a la guerra. La buena es que tendrás el tiempo suficiente para elegir con quién.

Alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, with whom he had a stormy relationship, Paul Verlaine is one of the most influential poets of the "fin de siècle". He was one of the greatest representatives of the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s, and a leader of the "Symbolists". His stylistic innovations brought a new musicality to French poetry; it was he who paved the way for modern poetry with its experiments in free verse and new techniques.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ‘novel in verse’ is an epic poem that voices with enchanting beauty and literary courage the perspective of Victorian women. Aurora Leigh forges her own path to become a poet, successfully proving her worth, defying the ideals of her era, and rescuing her spirit from the suppression of a routine domestic life. Infusing the work with her own experience and passion, Browning produced a true masterpiece.

John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment.

En un entresòl del carrer Torrent de l'Olla, a Gràcia, neix una criatura excepcional, un autèntic "fenomen": una nena que pesa set o vuit quilos. Ben aviat els pares - en Giordano Bruno, lliurepensador, i la Narcisa, catòlica - no saben què fer per educar i per alimentar la filla. Com més va, la noia menja més i plora més, i la sola cosa que l'interessa és llegir els fulletons, les novel·les per entregues que reparteix en Giordano per guanyar-se la vida, en el sentimentalisme tràgic dels quals descobreix l'única vida que per a ella té sentit.

The Argonautica, also known as Jason and the Golden Fleece or Jason and the Argonauts, is the only surviving epic poem from Hellenistic Greece. It is a masterpiece whose story was well known to the audiences of the time. Virgil and other later poets were greatly influenced by it. Its author, Apollonius, was a well-known third century BC scholar living in Alexandria during the great age of Ptolomaic scholarship, and his bold attempt at writing a Homeric epic about Jason and his quest for the Golden Fleece faced a daunting audience of knowledgeable contemporaries.
