It bothers me that this board doesn't discuss Ruben Darío. Truly a bunch of plebs

I just can't take hispanics seriously. They're like a cross between blacks and asians, the third worldness of blacks but without the aggression and power, and the timidity and background sceneryness of asians but without the high test scores. To me even a famous or powerful hispanic is like a cargo cult imitation of a real human. It's like oh that's cute they have little suits and everything, but you still just know, if you pan the camera down they'll all be wearing brightly colored flipflops and an old lady will be knitting something or making flour tortillas to sell on the street corner.

Same but for Americans, specifically those from flyover states. Their existance seems so bizarre to me

Most people here can't read Spanish.

1. He's the most influential Spanish-language poet since the Golden Age.
2. He experimented with dozens of different poetical forms.
3. He revitalized Spanish poetry, which had grown stagnant.
3.5. He cute.

Don't care. Not into Spanish lit
>He experimented with dozens of different poetical forms.
That statement can mean anything
>He revitalized Spanish poetry, which had grown stagnant.
This is just a less specific way of saying the first thing

I mean that he used many different meters and rhyme schemes.

People can't discuss Darío because they don't read nor understand poetry.

He finished the system of 19th century European poetry. He managed to synthesize romanticism, parnassianism and symbolism, despite these movements standing in contrast to each other to create a poetry that has the organicity of romantic expression and the perfection of parnassian form.

Typical non-Rubén Darío reader. He has already retroactively refuted you. Read Palabras liminares.

Did you just discover him or something and have thus developed a superiority complex for thinking you’re the only one who has read him?

I want to know more. Can you post some of your favorite poesm or verses?

I should be working but I'll post some of his poems that better encapsulate Darío's poetical philosophy ––which is important because for a long time he would be criticized for writing beautiful but hollow verse.
If you can you should really get Prosas profanas. The first part of that book has some of the best Darío, with playful, careless and perfect verses. These poems are a bit more reflexive in nature and so don't exhaust Darío's technical capabilities as those others I've mentioned.

But my absolute favorite verses of his are these. This is sadly only a fragment, but "Yo onions aquel que ayer nomás decía" is enough, it's a perfect verse. Just fucking read it aloud. I'm pretty sure it's an iambic verse, which is something much harder tu pull off in Spanish than in English.
