Golden border for a distant star, author: Gustavo Adolfo Becker

Here are selected poems from the works of the Spanish poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer (1836-1870), the most important lyric Romantic poet of the nineteenth century, who is considered one of the renewers of Spanish poetry in his time despite dying young and leaving only these poems which he later included in his famous collection called RIMAS, meaning poems or melodies or rhymes if translated literally. During his short life, Becquer was an example of a lively and active writer despite his illness, as he spent his youth learning painting with a brother named Valeriano, who later became one of the most important painters of the nineteenth century. He was also in wide contact with literary circles and an avid reader of French literature and Spanish poetry in its golden ages. Number of pages: 104
