Therefore all

Abstract

These poems are inspired by the sonnet “Life” by José Hierro, whose verses serve title to these four compositions, presented as a game between “All” and “Nothing”, two terms while antagonistic, complementary because man will be familiar with the reality of “All”, provided there lying on his face in utter nihilism of “Nothing”, and vice versa. Taking as its starting point the sonnet “Life” by José Hierro, whose verses serve title to these four compositions, presented as a game between “All” and “Nothing”, two terms while antagonistic, complementary because man will be familiar with the reality of “All”, provided there lying on his face in utter nihilism of “Nothing”, and vice versa. If we take these poems as an up gradation as to the meaning of life, we can see that, although from the first poem we find many references to death and the meaninglessness of life, once we got to the fourth poem “Both everything” the reader can see a glimmer of hope in these “last kiss”, “because they do see the desired tomorrow”. It is known that the lovers die, humans will die but unlike the final line of the poem Iron “after so much all for nothing”, this effort will not be in vain. Life is a constant suffering, a struggle for life Darwinian manner. The “Nothing” is hopeless, but not lack the “All” wrought daily, those little things that become, over time, momentous.
