Rubén Darío

Dario is still has some presences in today’s contemporary poets. He is a symbol of national pride inspiring Latin American writers and artists across the region. Dario was a significant inspiration to young people because one his important pieces appeared when he was barely 21 years old. 
Swans represent beauty, balance, elegance, and purity. A story that gets told to little kids is the ugly duckling becomes a swan. Where the ugly duckling turns in to this beautiful, elegant bird that is a swan. “The new poetry is under the white wings of the swan” I think Dario is saying that a new poetry is about to be born from the wings of the swan that is going to change how the world looks at poetry. Dario created a body of literary work of revolutionary power and drive that changed Hispanic American culture. He lead a renewal of the Spanish language that showed off his extraordinary literary abilities.

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States, who supported the move that United States invaded Latin America that made Dario angry. President Roosevelt supported a 1903 revolution in Panama that said the Panama Canal was the United States territory. Roosevelt was convinced that Latin America was vulnerable to European attack. The president then added his own coorollary to the Monroe Doctrine which said the United States military should watch over Latin America.
