Gustavo Adolfo Becquer

Rimas is a collection of poems written by Gustavo Adolfo Becquer and first published in 1897. The book is divided into three sections: Rimas I, Rimas II, and Rimas III. The poems are written in a romantic style and are known for their emotional depth and lyrical beauty.Rimas I contains some of Becquer's most famous poems, including ""Volver?????n las oscuras golondrinas"" (The Dark Swallows Will Return) and ""Rima LIII"" (Rhyme 53). These poems explore themes of love, loss, and the passage of time.Rimas II includes more personal poems, such as ""Rima LXXIII"" (Rhyme 73), which is a reflection on the poet's own mortality. The section also contains a series of poems inspired by the city of Seville, where Becquer spent much of his life.Rimas III is a collection of unfinished poems and fragments that were published posthumously. These poems provide a glimpse into Becquer's creative process and offer a sense of the depth and complexity of his work.Overall, Rimas is a beautiful and haunting collection of poems that showcases Becquer's mastery of language and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion.
