César Vallejo


Born
in Santiago de Chuco, Peru
March 16, 1892

Died
April 15, 1938

Genre


César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza was a Peruvian poet. Although he published only three books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century. Always a step ahead of the literary currents, each of his books was distinct from the others and, in it's own sense, revolutionary. Clayton Eshleman and José Rubia Barcia's translation of "The Complete Posthumous Poetry of César Vallejo" won the National Book Award for translation in 1979. ...more

Quotes by César Vallejo  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“مات الجميع.
ماتت دونيا أنطونيا، بصوتها الأجش،
من كانت تصنع خبزا رخيصا فى البلدة.

مات القس سانتياجو،
من كانت تمتعه تحية الشبان والبنات له،
مجيبا على الجميع، دون تمييز:
صباح الخير خوسيه، صباح الخير ماريا.

ماتت الشابة الشقراء، كارلوتا،
تاركة وراءها طفلا له شهور،
مات كذلك، بعد ثمانية أيام من موت أمه.

ماتت عمتى ألبينا،
من اعتادت على التغنى بأيام وعادات المزرعة،
بينما تحيك فى الممرات من أجل إيسيدورا،
الخادمة المحترفة والمرأة بالغة الاستقامة.

مات عجوز أعور، لا أذكر اسمه،
لكنه كان يغفو تحت شمس الصباح،
جالسا أمام باب السمكرى على الناصية.

مات رايو،
الكلب الذى كان فى طولى،
بطلقة رصاص لا أحد يعرف من أطلقها.

مات لوكاس، صهرى فى سلام الخصور،
من أتذكره حينما تمطر وليس ثمة أحد فى تجربتى.

ماتت أمى بمسدسى، أختى بقبضة يدى،
وأخى فى أحشائى النازفة،
الثلاثة مشدودون لنوع حزين من الحزن،
فى شهر أغسطس من سنوات متعاقبة.

مات الموسيقار مينديث، الطويل والثمل تماما،
من كان يعزف على الكلارينيت أنغاما سوداوية،
على ألحانه كانت تنام دجاجات حيّنا،
قبل أن تغيب الشمس بكثير.

ماتت أبديتى وها أنا ساهر على جثمانها.

سوف أتحدث عن الأمل”
César Vallejo

“Intellectuals are rebels, not revolutionaries.”
