Summary "Páginas escogidas" by Antonio Machado is a collection of poetry and prose written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on themes of memory, love, loss, and the nature of existence, drawing deeply from Machado's personal experiences and introspections. Through vivid imagery and contemplative verses, the author explores his relationship with his homeland and the transient nature of life. At the start of this collection, the author introduces his thoughts in the prologue, expressing the challenges of revisiting and selecting his past works. He meditates on the role of a poet and the complex relationship between creation and critique, acknowledging the distancing effect of time on his perception of his own poems. Following the prologue, the first poem, "El viajero," sets a reflective tone as it portrays the visit of a brother characterized by melancholia and nostalgia. Machado’s powerful imagery captures the bittersweet essence of memory and the passage of time, inviting readers to contemplate their own experiences with loss and longing.
