Platero
Platero is a little donkey, main character of Platero y yo (Spanish for Platero and I), one of Juan Ramón Jiménez's most popular works.
Platero ("silvery") is described in the lyric prose of the book as a "small donkey, a soft, hairy donkey: so soft to the touch that he might be said to be made of cotton, with no bones. Only the jet mirrors of his eyes are hard like two black crystal scarabs."
The little donkey remains a symbol of tenderness, purity and naivete, and is used by the author as a means of reflection about the simple joys of life, memories, and description of characters and their ways of life.

The Craft Of Heroism
by: BellatorDeep in the forest, the solid woods do tremble
The earth shakes by the sound of his chant
A vision of grandeur, a sight of strength and justice
Haunting the dead, warning the living
Pain is an illusion of the senses
Despair is an illusion of the weak mind
Now you're a warrior, raise the flag - united !
Never turn your back for cowardice equals crime
Now life is a prison, a cage that weighs upon him
There lies his duty, a work without redemption
"Now set them free, your sword's the key you're holding
Then you yourself shall once be released?"
Every single man is
a spark in the darkness
By Time he is noticed
and then gone forever
Enough of this talking
As I storm towards you
