THE RIVER

Crawling emerges from the chrome glass,

an alligator with emerald eyes,
and meanders through the green grass,
under the fiery lead luminaire.

Lightning flashes on its broken back

the gold dust that scalds the shore,
and a chiriguano with toasted back,
stalks the saurian, with ferocious aplomb.

His dark gaze tears the branches,

and strangling the pommel of his dagger
He wounds the beast with unparalleled bravery.

The monster wheezes and hungers for revenge,

The boiling blood flatters with its tongue,
and with its tail it decapitates the wind.

Modernism that, from America, had an impact on Spain. He founded the Revista de América in Buenos Aires
with Rubén Darío. Professor, first in Sucre, and then for twenty years in Tucumán.
 Diplomat, statesman, he held high positions. He was born in Tacna while his father, a native of Potosí, was
Consul of Bolivia.

He began his literary work in Argentina. An augural poet, he opened the doors of the most free poetry of the
present.

His is an orchestral voice with bronze sonorities and silky qualities. Masterful dominator of the idea and
rhetoric. He handled timeless, universal shortlists. There are allusions to Norse Mythology in his poems.

He was the creator of the correct and original theory in his "Laws of Spanish Versification", 1907.

Works: half a dozen important books on different aspects of the history of Tucumán, History of the Middle
Ages and Modern Times, "Jephthah's Daughter", drama. Many works in prose. In verse: "Castalia Bárbara",
1897. "Dreams are Life", books that are a milestone in American poetry for their deep human emotion, the
depth of feelings, their philosophy, the mysterious suggestion. "The Conquerors", historical drama, 1928.

Don Ricardo's captivating personality, his musketeer appearance with his tousled hair, penetrating gaze,
upright mustache, flat hat and Spanish cape, attracted students, friends and women who surrounded him,
admiring his vibrant musical voice and his gallant and stately manner.

Bolivia and Argentina share the glory of this artist. His remains rest in Potosí.

ALWAYS

You do not know how much I suffer! You who have put my darkness
in my night, and deeper bitterness in my pain!
You have left, like iron left in a wound,
in my ear the painful caress of your voice.

Throbbing like a kiss; voluptuous like a kiss;

voice that flatters and complains; voice of dream and pain.
How the ocean follows the hidden rhythm of the stars‚
My whole being follows the mysterious rhythm of your voice.

Oh, you call me and hurt me! I come to you like a sleepwalker
with arms outstretched in shadow and pain...
You do not know how much I suffer! How my martyrdom increases,
trembling and desolate, the caress of your voice.

Oh, the oblivion! The dark background of the night of oblivion

where the cypresses keep the tomb of Sorrow.
I have searched for the dark depths of the night of oblivion,
and the night was populated with the echoes of your voice...
