Becquer’s Liii rhyme study
The poem "Liii" belongs to the poet liked by Adolfo Claudio Domínguez Bastida better known as Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, belonging to the movement of the late 18Hispanic literature of the nineteenth century. Bécquer has as characteristics its deep romanticism, because in its works the issues reflect;Love, betrayal, revenge, and women as inspiration. He is also recognized as a man with a sweet delicacy and a deep melancholy. Like Bécquer productions, you can highlight "legends", "letters from my cell" and "rhymes", poems published a year after his death by his friends, initially called "The book of sparrows". This poems is a collection of 76 poetry characterized by its deep melancholy, simplicity and sweet delicacy A, and this book is where the poem Liii is located that will be analyzed below.
First, the rhyme Liii, which is lyric gender, seeks. If we talk about the poems, this is a book with deep and simple rhymes and that stops glimposing a "loving" vision of existence. The main theme that the poem covers are the reproaches and warnings that accompany a sentimental break, a topic to some extent trivial and used in other poems such as the rhyme XLVIII, XXXIV, XXXVIII, LIX and LVI. However, Bécquer expresses it with a degree of subtlety and honesty that manages to universalize, transmit and publicize his feelings.
This can be exemplified with the following appointment: "As I have loved you …;Unwill, like this … they won’t love you!”, Well, Bécquer, he is fried for losing his beloved, clarifying that only he knows how to love her, and that no one could replace him. In this poem, subthemes such as time and space can be highlighted since Bécquer represents time with the trips of the swallows and the seasonal life of the vegetation, because "some swallows will return, others not". The general events will return, but intimate experiences will not regenerate. Another sub -theme are family relationships because swallows represent intimate and unique experiences, and imply that those experiences cannot be regenerated with each relationship that you experience. For example, in the following appointment: "(…) Those who learned our names … those … will not return!".
Likewise, a last sub -the same would be the carpe diem because love relationships are fleeting, and you need to appreciate all of their experiences at the time you live it at the time. On the other hand, the poem Liii, in itself, deals with the poet’s memories to his beloved at different times of when they were in love and were happy, such as the flight of the swallows playing each other and/or the contemplation in his garden of theRocío de las Madreseselvas drops. The swallows will return, the Mother will bloom, and even, she can fall in love again, but, in a way that the poet loved her, it will be very difficult for him to happen again.
Second, if we refer to the form analysis in the "poem LIII" some aspects of the author’s style will be specified. Bécquer used 6 stanzas of 4 verses each. This poem does not use any of the classic stanzas, because it is free verse, possibly because the author followed one of the formal characteristics of romanticism. As for the metric, the verses are of greater art because the most part of the verses are endecasyllables, except the last verse of each stanza that is heptasyllable. In addition, the rhythm of the poem is yambic, since the strob accent falls in syllable. In the literary figures you can identify the parallelism in verse 1 and 2: "The dark swallows will return" and in verse 9 and 1: "The dense skeins of your garden the tapias to climb" will return ". Another literary resource is the epithet;In verse 1 "the dark swallows", and in verse 9 "the dense honeys. Likewise, in verse 22 and 23 the literary figure of simile is presented;"As God is worshiped to his altar, / As I have loved you", which allows emphasis to the love issue, and how the self-poetic felt, because the love professed to the beloved compares him to the love to beProfess the God himself.
In third and last place, in terms of the interpretation of the form, the poem LIII can be subdivided by grouping it in two stanzas by two. The first two stanzas cover metaphorically, that the two lovers will not be together or enjoy intimate moments as they used to do in the past, through the use of hyperbaton, headings and images. "The dark swallows will return" but they will not be the same.
The stanza 3 and the stanza 4, cover the same theme, but differ in that in these stanzas the hostelva and the flowers are the protagonists. The self-poetic through a mixture of lament and recrimination, mentions that the past will be behind. The suspensive points used in the last verse of stanzas 2, 4 and 6, function as a sigh prior to the final "will no longer return".
Finally, stanzas 5 and 6 allude directly to the central theme.
