para que bebiese el vino
BLUE (fragment of Spring)

My sweet muse Delicia
Brought me a Greek amphora
Engraved in alabaster
And filled with wine from Naxos.
And a beautiful gold glass
With a base covered with pearls,
To drink the wine
Which brings good luck to poets.

Era sensual y vitalista. Era un poeta que amó y bebió todo lo que la vida ofrendaba de
hermoso. Por eso renovó la poesía hispánica como nadie lo había hecho. Por eso apuró
la copa de vino con tanta pasión. Porque sabía que en ella y en unos labios estaba su
vida toda.

He was sensual and lively. He was a poet who loved and drank all the beauty that life could
offer. That's why he renovated Hispanic poetry as no one had ever before. That's why he
drained his cup of wine so passionately. Because he knew that therein and at his lips stood
his entire life.
