This description is referring to the original poem Agua Nocturna by Octavio Paz: "The original title of "Water Night" was "Night". With this title, Peace is connected to a long tradition of "night" in visual art, poetry and music. The common meaning of the word "night" is "belonging or relating to the night." In the musical tradition, this term is associated mainly with the Romantic period and the great collection of 21 evening of Frederic Chopin (1810-1849). In the Spanish-American poetry are also an abundant number of "night", especially in the period of modernism. The atmosphere of "Water Night" is a night life that the landscape merges with the human body. The poem consists of a series of images that connect and are repeated throughout the poem. The three key words are: night - eyes - water. These words form the center of the poem, both formally and thematically. Eroticism, as in many other poems of peace, plays an important role. Through the sensual images, the boundaries between "self" and the poem you are cleared." |
