Espronceda

Mention should be made here of two poets who had been, like Espronceda, pupils of Alberto Lista.

Espronceda was one of those fortunate few who shine in the world of letters although they work little.

Around him clustered a group of young men who imitated Espronceda and Zorrilla and Velarde with great enthusiasm.

Espronceda (1810-42) has equalled his master in his cynical odes.

I was a great friend of Espronceda, Zorrilla, Becquer and others.
