Fray Luis is considered one of the greaest voices in Castilian poetry. These poems are divided into three sections: originals, translations of secular poets, and biblical translations. First published in 1631 during the poetic war between Quevedo and Gongora, his work didn’t receive recognition until the late 19th century. Some consider him a mystic poet, while all appreciate his poems’ intimate religious qualities.
