poetic creation, made so largely by the many varieties of verse forms adapted to the par ticular situations, which render the production well nigh impossible of translation, may be divined something of the brief life of this romantic genius. The influence of Byron, Goethe and Leopardi is apparent. Capable of equaling each of these great geniuses, Espron ceda in his brief career did not produce suffi cient to make his poetic power so effective a reality. Consult for the poem, biography and commentary, the authoritative work by Don Patricio de la Escosura and Data Blanca Espronceda de Escosura, (Obras poeticas y escritos en prosa de Jose de Espronceda' (Madrid 1884).
