Introduction I did not choose further by Gabriela Mistral from the beginning of
this project, it was the end of a long search. Had I, at first with little enthu
siasm, chose Mario Benedetti feeling something drawn or rather intrigued by his
criticism and politicized view of society. Without embardo I was disappointed by
his almost arrogant attitude notable in his verses and my interest quickly fade
d to penetrate more deeply his poems. From there I turned to Octavio Paz, also a
very lucky because I did not feel close to their subjects. Finally take the sug
gestion of a friend as a poet who knew only by name: Gabriela Mistral. I liked h
is way of expressing passion, strength and daily use, conversational verse. Gabr
iela did not need to make out that 'spin', that contrary to my prejudices ignora
nt of the genre, one could write concrete poetry and yet profound. That was how
I found my poet. I read some poems from different books of his, and I chose to T
ala because, although not his most famous work, presented an interesting combina
tion of the others. Logging can be seen in various Gabriela: Gabriela is the Des
olation (Tala previous book) that is transformed in many identities that reflect
the time of his life where Gabriela Mistral published the work. Until you notic
e some aspects that will later be dominant in their next release Lagar. I felt c
lose to this as a teenager Gabriela transiting a difficult time, a Gabriela does
not know how to express themselves, one that constantly strives to become.
Who is Gabriela Mistral? She was born Lucila Godoy in the Elqui Valley (Chile) 1
889, a desolate rural landscape;
There are countries that I remember as I remember my childhood. Country of sea o
r river, of pastures, meadows and water. Village mine on the Rhone river and fil
ed on cicadas; Antilla palms verdi-black sea is medium and I llama1
He spent his early years were hard from the start since his father left after th
ree years of age. At eleven she was expelled from his school and stoned being wr
ongly accused of stealing material from there. Was raised by her sister but was
largely self-taught and this is when born his undying love for education.
Lolita Arriaga, divine old age, Luisa Michel smokeless barricade, a teacher like
bread and oil that does not know her name and her beauty, but who are the "Joys
of the Earth 'red-time Master of Vikings, and traveling between bivouacs and li
ghtning, carrying the brood of children on the side and drawing the line of fire
with liebres.2
Then at fifteen she published her first poems in the local press and falls for a
guy who commits suicide soon after.
You lie down on the ground with a sunny sweetness of mother to child asleep And
the earth has to be softness crib Upon receiving your child's body dolorido3
He studied to be a teacher, but when they finally graduate, he is denied the pos
sibility of teaching because he said his ideas were "atheist" and not appropriat
e to teach young people. However Lucila (Gabriela) begins a fight for their righ
ts and to end it

granted, she teaches in her beloved Elqui Valley and visit some of the most humb
le landscapes there, during that period spend much time with Chilean nature as w
ell. It is first recognized as a significant poet in 1922 at the floral games in
 the capital of Chile with the verses which then became part of Desolation. Shor
tly after leaving his beloved home country and began a long career as an intelle
ctual in many countries including Portugal, Mexico, United States, Spain and Fra
nce. During this period she grew up in an important sense of nostalgia and love
of American roots, since they never settled permanently in any location, are con
sidered herself a citizen of America.

Lectured and lived there for a salary awarded as prize (retired teacher) by the
Chilean government. In 1928 he adopted his nephew after the death of his brother
and his mother also died of tuberculosis but the fact will not know until next
year. The first part of Tala is called "Death of My Mother"
Take her to heaven for mothers, a trail of their laps, going and coming in a bun

These facts are in addition to the Chilean government's decision to withdraw the
salary of a teacher and she is staying in Italy without resources. But as alway
s, Gabriela struggle and download through poetry (born the first verses of Tala)
and then you are considered to produce some of his best poems, as it lives and
their speeches and articles. Travel the world doing this. Then the Chilean gover
nment gives her a diplomatic post in Italy, but when the government of Mussolini
barred from exercising its function (it was the first Chilean diplomatic). For
this move to Lisbon - where he lives a happy and quiet - and writes many of the
verses of Tala, until the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 (age 47) so the im
pact deeply. Two years later published Tala assigning copyright to the Spanish c
hildren were victims of civil war. It then returns to his country after thirteen
years and is warmly received. In the ensuing years occupied important positions
on behalf of Chile in Brazil. They form friendships with the Zweig family who c
ommits suicide in the face to be delivered to the Nazis in 1941, which was the i
nspiration for many future poems and articles. Is awarded the Nobel Prize for li
terature for 56 years and lives his last years sick to death in 1957. Gabriela M
istral was a suffering life, lonely, melancholy, and the world was presented cha
llenge after challenge, however is a woman who never gave up. Every time I was g
etting some happiness seems that fate as 'Talaba': It happened with her first lo
ve to suicide, with his first important position down by fascism, his time of ha
ppiness in Portugal severed by war, his career as teacher and innumerable times
more. Failed as

lover, and as a teacher, and lived this life in a context of war and internation
al tension.

Its themes and Tala initial analysis, the author addresses a variety of topics t
hat are linked to different 'chapters' of the work. In first place in question a
nd subject of death, waiting for it and this as an inevitable destiny. In the fi
rst poem will show as she does not feel threatened by death, she accepts it as s
uch and almost celebrated. However in the second poem, she asks for death. She b
egs God to let one end of suffering and compared with a child dying on the beach
.
From that hole came suddenly, with the meat of elegy; out and crawling feeling a
nd hardly distinguished it. With a stone crushing, fist squeezing it. She swayed
like a reed and wind are falling ... I put myself on the way to shout who I hea

This poem was written at a stage in the life of the author in which he had recen
tly learned of the death of his mother. You may feel guilty because I was not th
ere when his mother died and he knew just a year after it happened. One must bea
r in mind that Gabriela dedicate nearly a year looking after the health of his m
other in 1925.

Linked to this is also treated as sustained life and especially the elderly - no
t physical but spiritual. The latter is a central theme of Tala because, unlike
Desolation, Gabriela accepted in this book and absorbed the pain and instead of
'cry to the heavens "by his agony and loneliness (as it does in Desolation). The
refore Gabriela is old, tired of a life of pain alone.
I have not only an angel with wings trembling: and the sea rocked me rock on bot
h sides gives the angel who gives joy and agony, fluttering wings and fixed wing
. I know, when the sun rises, which will abide the day, if the flame color or th
e color of ashes, and I give them a wave as seaweed, contrite. Only once flew wi
th the wings together: the day of love, that of the Epiphany.€They gathered in
an enemy wings and tied the knot of death and life! 9
You can establish a clear relationship between the content of this issue and Gab
riela's life as his life was particularly sustained and not found love and the f
ew times I did end tragically. Bipolarity is interesting that she found in what
is life, everything has a positive and a negative side, and most intriguing is t
he manner in which he describes love as a combination of these two elements. Per
sonally I agree with the definition and I think that love is something very simi
lar to the concept that describes the poet.

Two Angels
The transition between Gabriela said Desolation and Tala can be felt especially
in some specific poems at the beginning of the play called Night.
I have not been your absolute Paul never thought to disbelieve, a violent coal l
ying on the front beam to toe. Well you wanted the terrible fate, but did not de
serve its redness. Brasa have been brief in hand, short flame licked my skin. I
did not know, lightning surge, such as pine burn rubber. Wind yours did not come
 to help and money before perecer10
In the first poem, Gabriela goes, as it often does, to a Judeo-Christian god but
here she takes leave of the sufferer Gabriela Desolation. In this poem she acce
pts his suffering and salvation as calls no longer used to. He says his pain is
so intense.
Christ the field, "Christ of Calvary" came to beg for my flesh is weak, but to s
ee my eyes back and forth from your body to my body in shame. My blood still bro
ok water, yours stood like water dam. I have a shoulder that I leaned in worth,
to you the four nails and loose tea, and the encounter becomes a blood pick as t
he language that answers, run my hands over my breast dry, take your feet in fis
h that are leaking. ... Just arrived, Christ, my arms, weight divine give me gri
ef because I am alone in this light biased and I see no other you see and what h
appens maybe every night there is nobody to the wisdom or know
11
In the second poem, it is clear as I change the lyric of opinion, attitude, phil
osophy. Leave to seek salvation, screaming for their suffering and loneliness, a
nd now absorbs the pain. It becomes the mother of Jesus and take your pain and a
ll. It almost seems as if at the end to accept this fate after all he suffered i
n his life, after all who lived finally accepts this divine weight of pain, this
loneliness. Bear all alone.

Another issue that is passionate about America, his homeland he misses both his
years living in Europe. Here Gabriela soul cries out a hymn to the American peop
le. As is noted in many cases their use of symbols and clues. In the first she u
ses the mountains as a symbol of America. In the second poem, Gabriela uses the
tropical sun as a constant that transcends history, something that every America
n shares. She in life never mind am happy to live anywhere in particular for ext
ended periods and that is why it is considered a citizen of America. This sense
of nostalgia and love for their roots is enhanced tremendously by his long, I tr
avel in Europe. Personally, having lived a long time outside

I understand greatly, and I identify with the feelings in the third poem. She ju

In other poems of Tala, she tries to motherhood and childhood.€She loved childr
en and this can be reflected in his passion for becoming a teacher and also the
way in which I devote all funds raised from the sale of this book to children vi
ctims of the Spanish Civil War despite being in a economic status less than idea

This poem was written by Gabriela dedicated to his niece dead, but there is no b
etter example than this of his love for the environment of the classroom and kin
dergarten. She loved the boys and their dream was to become a teacher. Whenever
this subject is treated for pain (in this case with dead girls), reflecting thei
r frustrated desires eternal life to spend a family with children teaching them.
Rima and Metrics For the metric of his poems, Gabriela Mistral is, in almost al
l cases, regular (no free verse poems) however it varies on the type of regulari
ty, although still largely eneasÍlaba may notice several poems heptasyllables ,
eight syllable, and heroic verse and even some dodecasyllabic, five syllables a
nd hexasyllabic. Her poems carry a pace that makes them more easy to read and lo
ok pretty music for this

often with alternating verses nine and then eight syllables, or other similar op
tions. Regarding the rhyme, this is noted in some poems consonant type and in a
few cases of type assonance. The structure of rhyme in poetry varies greatly and
can not establish a general pattern. It is impossible to know the reason why th
e author choose to vary both in terms of rhyme and meter, but it is undeniable t
hat adds color and life to the work. Resources As mentioned, Gabriela Mistral ha
s a tendency to (at least in Tala) to use certain rhetorical elements. First, it
has considerable symbols, use an object, landscape or situation as a symbol of
something bigger, deeper and meaningful. An example is that mentioned in mountai
ns as a symbol of American spirit, but also uses corn to show the Indians and th
e Mexican soul.
Anahuac widen it to grow corn. The earth, by God, seems to fly. In eternity ther
e are only green light, rowing splendors of fall and rise. The Sierra Madres spe
nds his vehement passion. The Indian who crosses "as that seems." Cornfield to w
here the ends whitens, and Mexico where corn is just muere.16
Another widely used resource that is the painting of pictures, she embodies and
shapes the nature, landscapes and elements to reflect and add to the tone of the
poem. It names and describes things and situations in many cases indigenous to
add texture to the text. Uses besides those mentioned, many other metaphors as d
eeply into the meaning of the text and force the reader to read between the line
s.

Subject: The Corn
This is due to his extensive experience as a teacher in the Elqui Valley, where
she saw and lived perhaps things that the world will seem simple, humble, basic
and precarious but Gabriela have any other meaning beautiful. Use metaphors for
the reader to try to capture this meaning. And finally a last resort I noticed w
hen reading it I often use anaphora to provide emphasis and strength to the poem
. Personally it is this passion, this fire, the force one of the things I love m
ost about Gabriela Mistral and I think are most essential elements of his work a
nd what makes you have won the Nobel Prize.

Death Girl
Analysis of Drinking can be set as
I remember gestures are gestures creatures and give me water. In the valley of R
io Blanco in the source of the Aconcagua, I came to drink, jumped to drink in th
e box (1) of a waterfall, falling mane and broke hard and stiff and white. I pre
ssed my mouth to the hive, and holy water burned me, and my mouth bled three day
s of that sip of Aconcagua. In the field of Mitla, a day of cicadas, the sun, ru
nning, I bent down a well and an Indian came to stand on the water, and my head,
like a fruit, was in his palms. I drank what I drank, it was her face with my f
ace€and in a flash I knew meat Mitla be my caste. In the house of my childhood
my mother took me water. Among a sip and saw another sip of the jar. The head fu
rther up and the pitcher is more below. Still I have the valley, I have my thirs
t and their perspectives. Will this eternity that we are still as we were. Memor
ies gestures are gestures creatures and give me water
hypothesis in this deep reading that poem, Gabriela talks about himself and is i
dentified with being Indian. The poem begins with a separate sentence in which s
he makes reference to "children" and says that they gave him water. Creatures ma
y be children, indigenous children Gabriela spent much of his life educating and
whom I love dearly. Here she attributes to them for giving him water and says s
he still remembers that after twenty years. Gabriela Water has to a very importa
nt value which is developed in "Drinking" as in many poems. The poem itself begi
ns with an anaphor "In the White River valley, where the Aconcagua rises" to loc
ate in Chile, his homeland. She says she saw a place to quench their thirst and
jump to it. We
then paints the image of a waterfall and the woman taking, jumping into it. Casc
ade is described as white stiff and hard breaking can this here Gabriela describ
ing herself through the waterfall. When the woman takes the water, however, it b
urns and is a melting pot metaphor with holy water and hence The hyperbaton emph
asize and give an enhancing effect. This may be true because the author believed
that water, one sip of the Aconcagua as sacred and pure. Hyperbaton is there a
showcase for the burn. Maybe she has burned representatively for this, or maybe
because if it was like holy water, was not worthy to take the water of divine or
igin. It is obvious that in any way this is a clear example of his love for Amer
ica and nature. In the second part of the poem places the reader in the "Campo d
e Mitla", this is an old Mexican village, now an archaeological site, where many
Indians lived for many years. Gabriella is once again paints the picture but th
is time through a listing of the elements of nature present. The Lyric I returne
d to the well this time an Indian accompanies and holds your head to take. There
is a comparison between the head and a fruit, this may be due probably to the w
ay the Indian held his head and it fits in with the natural tone of the poem. Th
e head is like a fruit, are nature and nature is us. The following piece, I inte
rpreted and I think that says "I drank what I drank, it was her face with my fac
e," is actually referring to the reflection by using a metaphor. As if the lyric
al bent to take and saw it instead of your own face, the face of the Indian, and
emphasizing the union of man with nature, both sacred drink of the same river,
are one and the same. That's when "a flash" the Lyric I realize that "meat Mitla
be my breed" that is, it is of the same flesh, are the same. The Lyric I identi
fy with the Indian, with nature. Gabriela here
wrote the last sentence in a very particular, made the Lyric I speak as an India
n, and emphasizing the intimate relationship. The last part of the poem has seve
ral hyperbaton, which are intended to intensify the sense of 'reverse' of the si
tuation. Now I Lyric is in the house of his childhood and instead of drinking fr
om the river, making a pitcher brought by his mother. You can also see the repet
ition of words twice in several verses: "between one and another sip sip" head o
ver the pitcher is up and most are down "" I have the valley yet, I have my thir
st and his eyes " This last phrase is important because it says that despite hav
ing gone home, remember (as I said at the beginning) its experience in the fall,
still has in its report to the valley, you still and always will be that thirst
and need again, and finally still know and remember the Indian, and the reflect
ion he saw in his water. The poem ends by synthesizing this, says that it will b
e for all eternity, "even as we used" or that inside we all have a part of natur
e. Despite taking the jars, we will forever even the thirst of the "sip of Aconc
agua." You can make additional or alternative reading of this key phrase as refe
rring to an Indian destination is unchanged, despite the passage of time and cha
nges the world. I believe that this target would be something that Gabriela woul
d take to heart.
Relationship Paintings The first picture I chose for several reasons.€The name
of the portrait is "The Fate of the Animals" or "The Fate of the Animals" by Fra
nz Marc painted basically is related to the topic of Gabriela and their opinions
about them. For example, is as interested as Gabriela in nature and believes in
its hidden value, which is significant in that his work, in which any part of t
he painting is to identify some elements of nature. In addition to the right is
a figure that death is obviously quite close to the blue deer, death, as mention
ed, is also one of the favorite themes of the poet. Another interesting fact is
that the other side of the canvas, the author wrote "and all is suffering flamin
g" which shows a very clear similarity in philosophy with respect to death with
Gabriela Mistral. This similarity may be because both artists lived in the same
period and therefore the major events that rocked were the same: the Spanish Civ
il War, world wars, the Great Depression, etc. They belong to the same artistic
movement: the modernism. Finally, the bipolarity in the poem "Two Angels" can be
seen also in this work, in which half is colorful, lively, and the other color
is dry, dead.
This second piece is called "La Niña de las Cañas" Leopold Romañach and remin
ds me of the figure of Gabriela as a woman of the field, American woman, hard an
d suffered. There are several elements of the painter who carry the same air as
his poetry, one might mention the role of the female figure, the inclusion of na
ture in the cane, and most of all the sad, neglected, and one of the young.
You forgot the face you made in a dark valley at a forgotten woman among all you
r ways My alzadura of cypress slow ... I have covered my face rendered creatures
that make you tropel18
This girl wears on her face, in his sad expression, all that Gabriela is: is a s
ymbol of humble American people, a symbol of the suffering of the work that is l
ife has the same features you have all your photos Gabriela . That image may be
seen as the poet herself.
This last picture is called "Eva and Apple" is by the famous Arcimboldo. He pain
ted figures of people usually made with fruit, vegetables, plants, branches and
/ or flowers, however, in this case, the woman in the painting is not in their n
ature be only children.
18
Consummation of the Night
This painting was included in order to highlight the persistent Gabriela love fo
r children, but also to mark its insistence on the unity of man with nature. Thi
s principle is notable poet in the poem discussed in the previous section, the f
usion between man and the natural surroundings as a constant and eternal.
Personal Conclusion In Tala, Gabriela Mistral Gabriela says goodbye to Desolatio
n and opens a new chapter in her life, a chapter in which decides who is and is
well seen in the work of many facets of this amazing woman, there are many Gabri
ela taking the floor. It looks at times like a crazy woman who does not want to
be judged according to the logic and values of a world that did little more than
damage. "Lie less often, when you look at the monuments or the Cordillera indig
enous, one whole voice that is equivalent to cleave to these formidable issues .
.. I know that I am a pure babble of the case. Like other times, I face the ridi
cule with a smile of rural women when it spoils the frutillar or syrup on the fi
re ... "19 It is also a Gabriela who are unable to take over the place of mother
's lover or is old and alone in a foreign land and so is losing everything. To c
lose, this loss Gabriela creating masks and identities at the time makes me thin
k of life that we teenagers. I think I see a woman who has tolerated so much and
gone on to win a Nobel prize gives you something to think every time we complai
n and like her 'cry to heaven for anything. " A woman who has always passionatel
y defended what he believed and we could all learn something from the fire of Lu
cila Godoy.
