LUIS DE GÓNGORA
"Luis de Góngora (1561-1627) is the most original and influential poet of the entire Spanish Golden Age . His poetic work of him breaks molds and inaugurates a new language whose virtuality, still insurmountable, continues to set directions in contemporary poetry.
The bright and the dark in Góngora arise from the same protein root, capable of facing the double mirror in which we all look at ourselves; expanding, at the same time, the dimension of its limits. El Polifemo and Las Soledades are the two most imaginative and complex works of universal poetry, challenging human intelligence and reason, showing us a path that no one else knew how to glimpse."
