Azul... by Rubén Dário

A landmark late-19th-century modernist collection that melds lyrical poetry and prose pieces, notable for its musical language, vivid sensory and exotic imagery, and cosmopolitan themes. It champions artistic renewal and aestheticism, rejecting provincialism and conventional morals through mythic and symbolist motifs, while exploring love, beauty, and the poet’s longing for transcendence.
