Poesía De La Soledad Y El Deseo
''Poesía de la soledad y el deseo'' is a book of poetry by Alejandro Carrión. This collection was published in the Annals of the Central University of Quito as a "separata" with an illustrated cover by Eduardo Kingman, and edited by Alfredo Chávez. The poem “Dulce niñera rubia de los sueños” began its triumphal chase, eventually included in many anthologies and translated to English by Dudley Fitts.

Poemas De Un Portero
A symphonic poem or tone poem is a piece of orchestral music, usually in a single continuous movement (music), movement, which illustrates or evokes the content of a poem, short story, novel, painting, landscape, or other (non-musical) source. The German term ''Tondichtung (tone poem)'' appears to have been first used by the composer Carl Loewe in 1828. The Hungarian composer Franz Liszt first applied the term ''Symphonische Dichtung'' to Symphonic poems (Liszt), his 13 works in this vein. While many symphonic poems may compare in size and scale to symphonic movements (or even reach the length of an entire symphony), they are unlike traditional classical Symphony, symphonic Movement (music), movements, in that their music is intended to inspire listeners to imagine or consider scenes, images, specific ideas or moods, and not (necessarily) to focus on following traditional patterns of musical form such as sonata form. This intention to inspire listeners was a direct consequenc ...
