Soledades, galerías y otros poemas

In Soledades, galleries and other poems we find Machado "mysterious and silent". A Machado who elaborates an intimate modernism that will allow his poems to withstand the test of time and the onslaught of literary fashions well. In Manuel Alvar's words: «They broke with an old tradition, but they were not accompanied by what modern poetry postulated. If anything, it was a leap backwards, the search, the discovery of what Bécquer meant. Perhaps this has to be explained outside of what we usually understand; [...]. Machado's book is a book tinged with melancholy; With this we are discovering that streak of romanticism that will never be abandoned.»
