Instante lírico y devenir temporal en la Oda I de Francisco de La Torre

Abstract

The poetic word is the vehicle that Francisco de la Torre uses to convey both the glory of the lyrical instant and the incessant temporal evolution. The lyrical self walks   the rugged path of existence and feels the final pause in each moment he lived. Our purpose has been to analyze how the broken sound of that abrupt journey symbolizes the inevitable flow of time.  The author manages to go beyond the traditional topic of carpe diem thanks to the sober balance of some verses in whose fluctuations the melancholic pilgrimage of being towards the inscrutable darkness is revealed.
