Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

fuckyeahhistorycrushes: Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, late romantic Spanish poet and writer. His work approached the traditional poetry and themes in a modern way, and is considered the founder of modern Spanish lyricism. I’m not much of a poetry fan, but his work is simply beautiful and really impressive. In his life  Bécquer suffered from quite some heartbreaks and died really young. I’ve had a crush with him since I first saw his painting, and that feeling only grew when I read his work. I took the liberty of translating one of his Rhymes, for your pleasure: Rhyme XI I am afire, I am brunetteI am of passion a signOf craving of pleasure my soul is filledare you searching for me?-It isn’t you, no.My forehead is pale, my braid is goldAnd I can bring you endless joyOf tenderness I keep a treasureAre you calling for me?-No, it isn’t you.I am a dream, I am impossibleVain ghost of fog and lightI’m incorporeal, I’m intangibleI can’t love you-Oh come, come you!
