Hoʻolaʻa ʻia "i nā ʻuhane o Gutiérrez Nájera a me Othón", ʻo kēia ke poʻo inoa o ka puke mua i paʻi ʻia e Ramón López Velarde.
Ma muli o nā kumuhana o nā haku mele i hōʻike ʻia i loko o ka leo, ua hōʻike ka puke i kahi manaʻo leʻaleʻa: aia ia i ka mālama ʻana me ka mahalo hou o ke ola a me nā ʻono panalāʻau i lawe ʻia e ka Revolution.
Nā mele e like me nā Lāpule i ka panalāʻau, koʻu hoahānau ʻo Agueda, i ka lokomaikaʻi mua o nā kamaʻāina, Mai ke kaona ponoʻī, I ka patron o koʻu kaona, a me ke kaiapuni hoʻi, i kekahi manawa haipule, nā haole ʻē aʻe, pinepine ka eroticism hala ʻole. i ka panalāʻau, ma loko o ke kumumanaʻo o nā mele aupuni, i ka waeʻano o ka manaʻo moʻokalaleo.
Me kēia puke, ua hoʻomaka ka poema modernist, i hoʻomaka ʻia ma Mekiko i loko o kekahi kūlanakauhale panalāʻau me nā moemoeā cosmopolitan, i hōʻike ʻia e ke kamaʻāina a me ka mokuʻāina aupuni. ʻO ia ka manawa e hōʻea ai ka manawa ke hana hou ʻole ʻia ka "ākea" o nā haku mele ʻo Mekiko i kā lākou kūlana, akā i ka ʻae ʻia o nā waiwai āpau e like me ia, kahi o ko lākou hānau ʻana, kā lākou mau loina, nā pilau a me nā ʻano hana o ka wā kamaliʻi, ke kauhale kauhale a me nā mea āpau e hoʻopau ai i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi hōʻike aupuni, kahi mele nona ponoʻī.
In The Devout Blood, hoʻomaka pū ka mea haku mele ʻo Jerez i kāna moʻolelo kaʻao ponoʻī, ʻo kāna aloha maikaʻi ʻole no kāna muse mua. Kākau ʻo López Velarde i ka mea aʻe i ka ʻōlelo mua i kāna puke ʻelua:
"Ke ʻenemi o ka wehewehe ʻana i kaʻu mau kaʻina hana a i nā manawa ke pili pono ka loiloi a i ʻole ke ʻano o ka lapuwale i nā pilikia āpau, i kēia lā haki wau i kēlā laina o ka hāmau.
Makemake wau e hōʻoia i waho o ke kūpaʻa a me ke kānāwai iaʻu iho ua like kēia paʻi me ka 1916, me ka hoʻololi ʻole i kahi huaʻōlelo a i ʻole kahi wā a i ʻole koma. ʻO kahi mea hou: i ka mele mua, ka inoa o ka wahine nāna i ʻae kokoke i nā ʻaoʻao āpau. "
A ʻo kēia ka mea a ka mele mua i ʻōlelo ai:
MA KA NOHO ALII ANA O SPRING
TO JOSEFA DE LOS RÍOS MARCH 17, 1880 - MEI 7, 1917
Aloha ʻoe, ʻo Puna, Fuensanta, ʻo ia ka ʻekalesia e poni ai i nā pua o ka Lent
Aia kahi hōʻoluʻolu momona i nā ʻuhane maʻi, no ka mea ʻo ʻApelila me kāna aura e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka manaʻo o ka convalescence.
Hōʻaʻahu ʻia ka lani i ka polū maikaʻi a me ka honua i nā roses a ʻaʻahu wau me kou aloha ... Auē ka hanohano o ke aloha, ke aloha, ʻona me ke aloha iā ʻoe, ipo mau, aloha aloha, e like me ʻumikūmālima mau makahiki, he aha ka makemake mua.
A me ka hauʻoli o nā manu nūnū e ʻauheʻe ana mai ka hale konikona kahi o lākou i paʻa pio ai hele aku ai i kahi mamao loa, ma lalo o ka ʻōlelo polū a ka lani a ma luna o nā pua o ka honua, pēlā lākou e lele aku nei e ʻike iā ʻoe i nā ʻano ʻāina ʻē he hemolele, aloha e, aloha maʻi! i kupu aʻe ma lalo o ke aupuni o Spring.
Ma hope o ke Koko Devout, e like me Dante me Beatriz, i loko o kā López Velarde mau mele he aloha mau, hoʻokiʻekiʻe a kanikau hoʻi.
