"We begin with Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836–1870), born in Seville, Spain. His tender verses, full of longing and melancholy, capture the fleeting beauty of love and the whispers of the heart, inviting readers into a world where emotion and nature intertwine."
From his famous Rima LIII (written ~1862, part of Rimas):

"The dark swallows will return
to hang their nests upon your balcony,
but those that once paused in flight
to gaze upon your beauty and my joy
will never come back."

Some loves are not eternal—they come and go like swallows. What remains is often a delicate memory, fleeting yet unforgettable. 🕊️

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836–1870), nacido en Sevilla, España, captura la belleza fugaz del amor y los susurros del corazón. 💌

De su famosa Rima LIII (escrita alrededor de 1862, parte de Rimas):

"Volverán las oscuras golondrinas
en tu balcón sus nidos a colgar,
pero aquellas que el vuelo refrenaban
tu hermosura y mi dicha a contemplar,
no volverán."

Algunos amores no son eternos—vuelan como las golondrinas. Lo que queda suele ser un recuerdo delicado, fugaz pero inolvidable. 🕊️

“Forgetting may be the deepest form of forgiveness.” – Jorge Luis Borges
