Hi @stevenson7, sorry for the lateness of my reply. Yes indeed, the combination of history and poetry is a fascinating subject. And Machado's book is a good example of that combination. In fact, when we study a bit of Spanish history, in particular that which corresponds to the one between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, we turn, among others, to Machado's texts. They speak, with clarity, of decadence and, at the same time, of the need to reorient convictions and actions in order to rise again from failure; what Spain had particularly experienced at that time, but which is a theme not specific or unique to one country, which is why we can take it, also, to other contexts. A pleasure to read your comment. Best regards.
