mentor #14: Juan Ramón Jiménez

"The Nobel Prize in Literature 1956"
modernistas, poetry

"If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”

“Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.”

“I have a feeling that my boat has struck, down there in the depths, against a great thing. And nothing happens! Nothing ... Silence ... Waves. Nothing happens? Or Has everything Happened and we are standing now, quietly, in the new life?”


 Juan Ramón Jiménez
