Spanish poet Vicente Aleixandre won the Nobel Prize of 1977 for literature.

Vicente Pío Marcelino Cirilo Aleixandre y Merlo received it at 79 years of age. At the time, people barely knew him with just two available small editions in English translation. Two years later, in 1979, Harper and Row brought out bilingual edition of Lewis Hyde of selected poems of Aleixandre, A Longing for the Light . When people left the book to go out print, Copper Canyon published a paperback edition in 1985. Express Books noted in an article on Aleixandre, “A Longing for the Light remains the only readable collection of Aleixandre’s poetry available.”

Quotes by Vicente Aleixandre (?)

“In the deepest nights
words left behind or asleep
may find their connections.
In scattered papers, who knows or forgets them?
Someday perhaps they’ll resonate—who knows?—
in a few sympathetic hearts.”
― Vicente Aleixandre

“I would say a few words
in your ear. A doubtful man has little faith.
Live a long time and it gets dark, and suddenly you know you don’t
know yourself.
But I’d say them even so. Since my eyes repeat what they take in:
your beauty, your name, the river’s sound, the woods, the soul on its own.”
― Vicente Aleixandre

“After the dead words,
after the ones still said and spoken,
what do you expect? Some flying leaves,
more scattered papers. Who knows?
Some dissolving
words, like the light or the echo dying out there in the great night.”
― Vicente Aleixandre
