I chose the poem "Dark swallows will" by Gustavo A. Becquer for this project. The reason I chose it is because I've read a lot of other poems by Bequer and have liked them. His ideas about poetry and love are idealistics; he thinks that love and poetry are like dreams that have a definite shape, a shape that is not satisfactory for him. So when I read this poem, the idea of that god like love called my attention and I found it interesting to analyze it and to find the real message. The theme of love is always associated with poetry, but in this poem we'll find the theme of love as something that "will not return".
The poem opens up with an image of spring and mating. The dark swallows celebrate their mating, which points the starting point of spring. They hang their nests in sign of the attraction of the genders. The swallows in Spain - are messengers of love; they rap playfully on the window celebrating the beginning of the love of a human couple.
The future of the mating......
