Things from Life in the Death of a Man by Alejandra Tuninetti
It's possible that the two Spains Anthony Machado refers to still live. The water on the surface is calm but underneath there is turbulence.
There are other Spains that are not as badly opposed as the one we are talking about; or are not known or are ignored. For Example: The Spain from the cities of the avant-garde, the Spain from the villages and towns especially those that are inland and backward.
The Spanish Civil War by Diana Ferraro
During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in which one of the varieties of the two Spains alluded in the Machado’s poem “Españolito que vienes al mundó opposed, Republicans against Nationalists this time, many poets, like Antonio Machado himself, went to exile and others died, like Federico Garcia Lorca, who was taken prisoner and shot.

The Spanish American War and The Cuban War for Independence
The Spanish--American War--a conflict between Spain and the United States in 1898--coexisted with the ongoing Cuban War of Independence. A typical conflict between a powerful empire living its last chapter and an energetic and rich country with the will to prevail competed for the world’s attention with the last Latin American war for Independence from Spain. Two writers, the Cuban José Marti (1853-1895) and the American Stephen Crane (1871 -1 900) wrote about these wars. José Marti's role as a patriot would surpass his role as a poet, becoming the “Apostle" of the Independence and losing his life in a skirmish at the beginning of the Independence war, and Stephen Crane, as an American correspondent of war, would survive the sinking of his ship and live many adventures in Cuba. Both have left memorable pages about the war, which go beyond politics to enter in the history of man as a suffering being, struggling for freedom, and in the need to accept war as a sometimes unavoidable mean.

Shadow People by Emily Glossner Johnson
The three Herlihy cousins lived in a mansion called Violet Ridge that sat high on the edge of deep and timeless Seneca Lake. There was David Herlihy, the oldest cousin; Trey Herlihy, the middle cousin; and Katie Herlihy, the youngest cousin. Ten years before Katie’s birth, Trey was born, and ten years prior to that, David was born. |

Ocotillo Wells by W.F. Lantry, Here every seed and stem falls on the bareinfertile stone, yet walking cactus shoots rise tall as men, until root frameworks fail, but where they fall, rent branches send out growth which thrives and flowers here, confirming both the death and resurrection of the lost. Thorned ocotillos lift their slender red blossoms, like trumpets, through the desert air, and even in the worst heat, merely spread their arms a little wider, when they're tossed by winds, the long hands barely move, |
Rare Glimpse by James Claffey The Old Man travels home on the ferry from Stranraer, catching the night train in Belfast and arriving in time for breakfast. Mam is grilling Denny sausages and Galtee rashers to beat the band before he’s taken his pea coat off.“Come here to me, son," he cries, sweeping me off my feet and dangling me upside down, my hair brushing the linoleum. “Did you miss your Da? Did you?" |

A Fresh Start by Marion Clarke |
The Things in Life in the Death of a Man --Are we starting to emerge from the Middle Ages? it is a long step. Certain aspects and places have changed a lot, in others almost nothing. Distances sometimes are huge and our city-man has his routes in a faraway village; he returns periodically, revisits old childhood memories. --Tuninetti |
