La rayuela por Julio Cortazar
Se juega con una piedrecita que hay que empujar con la punta del zapato.
Ingredientes:
una acera
una piedrecita
un zapato
y un bello dibujo con tiza, preferentemente de colores.
En lo alto esta el Cielo, abajo esta la Tierra,
es muy dificil llegar con la piedrecita al Cielo,
casi siempre se calcula mal y la piedra sale del dibujo.
Poco a poco, sin embargo, se va adquiriendo la habilidad necesaria para salvar las diferentes casillas
(rayuela caracol, rayuela rectangular, rayuela de fantasia, poco usada)
y un dia se aprende a salir de la Tierra y remontar la piedrecita hasta el Cielo,
hasta entrar en el Cielo, lo malo es que justamente a esa altura,
cuando casi nadie ha aprendido a remontar la piedrecita hasta el Cielo,
se acaba de golpe la infancia y se cae en las novelas,
en la angustia al divino cohete,
en la especulacion de otro Cielo al que tambien hay que aprender a llegar.
Y porque se ha salido de la infancia se olvida que para llegar al Cielo se necesitan,
como ingredientes,
una piedrecita
y la punta de un zapato.

For my Spanish Lit. 209 final I'm required to choose, present and analyze a poem. Does La Rayuela seem too "Chicken soup for the ... " as far as its general message? What I'm really looking for are any other options from Spanish or Latin American poets as this subject is foreign to me. If anyone could post some unique, memorable work(keeping in mind it's a 209 class) it would be greatly appreciated... I don't know where or who to start with and wanted to stumble upon someone besides the Neruda & Lorca. Thanks in advance. |

What exactly is Spanish Spanish Lit. 209?
Maybe you want to check out the salvadoran poet Alfredo Espino, he mostly wrote about nature and simple life. |

I've attempted it! but had to put it down not even 50 some pages in. Blow Up and his other short stories are more my pace :stongue: Thanks for the links, I'll be looking into them the next couple weeks. As far as the presentation goes, there are only 6 of us in the class. It's very informal and all is in open range. It needs to be a 10 min presentation which we speak of the symbolism, meaning, methaphors, theme, etc. The poem can be of any length also. Oh and 209 is Intro to Lit. Thanks again Sensorium and i'll add Alfredo Espino to the list.
Nachos don't make me smack those eyelashes off your gawd forsaken face :wtf: I'm not devaluing any of Neruda's work. I was just wanting to hunt around for someone a bit more obscure, you know, the po'! |
