Yet what I love the most from Bécquer are his Narratives. They are a collection of Spanish legends beautifully told. You can find amongst them deadly wraiths, extrange weredeer, marble statues that can come into life, ruins, bewitching green-eyed ondines, damned souls, devilish creatures, evocations of medieval Spanish towns and forests and a poet in love with a moonbeam who might well be Bécquer himself. His prose is both poetic and compelling and can easily move in a wide range of stories, from Romantic weird infatuations from horror, from medieval times to untemporal events.
I only regret that there are so few translations of Bécquer's works into English... He is a most loved writer in Spain. His verses are the first to be read and appreciated by teenagers who usually feel reluctant to read poetry. With Bécquer they learn that Poetry are not only beautiful words, but a deep intimate feeling...
