Describing his poems as "remarkable" is not NPOV. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:22, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Agreed -- I removed the adjective. --tom hinkle
Someone changed the birthyear from 1902 to 1904. My memory had always been that Cernuda lived to be just over 60, so I was pretty sure this was wrong. Trying to research on the web proved futile (so many of the references to Cernuda's birthday looked like they came from wikipedia). I remembered my pilgramage to Cernuda's birthplace and the photo I'd taken of the plaque put there by the city of Seville. Here's the text of the plaque, confirming the date:
- "EN ESTA CASA N°6 DE LA ANTIGUA
- CALLE CONDE DE TOJAR, HOY ACETRES
- NACIO EL 21 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 1902
- LUIS CERNUDA
- EL POETA EJEMPLAR EL AMOR, EL DOLOR, Y EL EXILIO
- SEVILLA AGRADECIDA A SU MEMORIA"
I realize my photo of a plaque isn't the world's best source, but it will do for now. If you have some evidence as to another birth date, please post here before changing. Tom
