Gaspar Núñez de Arce (1834–1903) was a Spanish poet, dramatist and statesman. He was born at Valladolid, where he was educated for the priesthood. He had no vocation for the ecclesiastical state, plunged into literature, and produced a play entitled Amor y Orgullo which was acted at Toledo in 1849. To the displeasure of his father, an official in the post office, the youth refused to enter the seminary, and escaped to Madrid, where he obtained employment on the staff of El Observador, a Liberal newspaper. He afterwards founded El Bachiller Honduras, a journal in which he advocated a policy of Liberal concentration, and he attracted sufficient notice to justify his appointment as governor of Logroño, and his nomination as deputy for Valladolid in 1865. He was imprisoned at Cáceres for his violent attacks on the reactionary ministry of Narváez, acted as secretary to the revolutionary Junta of Catalonia when Isabella II was dethroned, and wrote the “Manifesto to the Nation” published by the provisional government on 26 October 1868. During the next few years he practically withdrew from political life till the restoration, when he attached himself to Sagasta’s party. He served under Sagasta as minister for the colonies, the interior, the exchequer and education; but ill-health compelled him to resign on 27 July 1890, and henceforth he refused to take office again. He was elected to the Spanish Academy on the 8 January 1874 and was appointed a life-senator in 1886. He died at Madrid in February 1903. Núñez de Arce first came into notice as a dramatist, and he remained faithful to the stage for nearly a quarter of a century. In addition to three plays written in collaboration with Antonio Hurtado, he produced ¿Quien es el autor? (1859), La Cuenla del Zapatero (1859), ¡Como se empeña un marido! (1860), Deudas de la honra (1863), Ni lanto ni tan poco (1865), Quien debe, paga (1867) and El haz de Una (1872). But Núñez de Arce’s talent was more lyrical than dramatic, and his celebrity dates from the appearance of Gritos del combate (1875), a collection of poems exhorting Spaniards to lay aside domestic quarrels and to save their country from anarchy, more dangerous than a foreign foe. He maintained his position (in popular esteem) as the only possible rival of Campoamor by a series of philosophic, elegiac and symbolic poems: “Raimundo Lulio, Ultima Iamentacion de Lord Byron” (1879), “Un Idilio y una Elegia” (1879), “La Selva oscura” (1879) and “La Visidn de Fray Martin” (1880). The old brilliance sets off the naturalistic observation of La Pesca (1884) and La Maruja (1886). The list of his works is completed by Poemas cortos (1895) and ISursum cordal (1900); Herndn el lobo, published in El Liberal (January 23, 1881) and Luzbel remain unfinished. His strength lies in the graciousness of his vision, his sincerity and command of his instrument; his weakness derives from his divided sympathies, his moods of obvious sentiment and his rhetorical facility. But at his best, as in the Gritos del combate, he is a master of virile music and patriotic doctrine. References Wikipedia—https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaspar_Núñez_de_Arce
My name is Danielle, I'm 17 and I live in New York, more specifically: on Long Island. I've been writing since I was about 11. It's always been my passion. Back then I used to write short stories, but now I'm more interested in writing poetry. I find it an easy way to express my emotions. I dealt with a lot growing up from living with a broken family, divorced parents, being bullied from kids in school, being emotionally and mentally abused by my parents as well as my siblings. I've developed depression in 7th grade, and anxiety and it lead to an eating disorder. I also just recently got out of an abusive relationship. Everything that I have been through you will see in my writing. I have a lot of emotions and thoughts that circle through my head, and poetry helps me organize them. I hope you read and enjoy my writing.

Tengo el don y la desgracia de verlo todo con una inmensa sensibilidad, con el tiempo lo he hecho muy mío. Gracias a ello observo y admiro la vida detalladamente como arte y belleza en todas sus formas. Apasionada del mundo onírico, cuántico, alquímico y espiritual desde siempre y actualmente en formación.
"I am .. I choose to be" my life has been far from ordinary, I only wish to share my experiences and thoughts with those who would appreciate them and the emotion i bring. I just started writing and I'm fallin in love with it, I know I need to work on my format but please share your thoughts and comments and please be honest i need that. thanx and one luv!
A second year medical student at UCT. Described as an introvert by plenty. Love poetry and rap music. I am a Christian. I come from Halahala village in Limpopo, South Africa. Dr Gregory House is my iconic hero and someone I really relate to at a level no one else can understand. As an introvert, I never really share my thoughts and feelings, well, verbally. I hope to use this page as a sanctuary where I will write my feels and thoughts down. Try, I know it'll be hard, not to judge.
Writing has always been a big part of my life. Since I was a child it was so easy for me to write anything. Poetry has always been my passion . I pick up a pen and notebook and will challenge anyone I know to ask me to write something for them. A letter, a story, a hiku, an article. The pen and my thoughts become alive instantly. It has always been my first line of communication. Words are so easy to write and not as easy to say outloud. I can be abstract and remove myself from my element into a world of creativity. I compare it to composing music, painting a beautiful portrait, or sky diving. It can come smoothly, it can be beautiful, and it can be bold and exciting. If I could make a living writing, I most certainly would. What a wonderful release and when the words come to the thoughts I have, they come quickly and vividly. Almost as if it's a flash. I always carry a notebook and pen or use my phone to memo words or thoughts throughout my day. Some of my thoughts are so brilliant and clever, others are dark and mysterious, many are filled with sadness and lonliness. This is part of who I am and the feeling and emotions I have. I am my own muse.
Pienso por mas desesperado que vivo en el mundo distante. Pienso para sanar la herida de la opresión ortodoxa. Rio para no llorar, pues la vida tan solo es un gramo de felicidad. México, como paraíso de sentimientos encontrados donde la vida ocurre tan rápido que no hay tiempo para decir "adiós". Nihilista racional o anarquista del pensamiento. Enamoradizo u obsesionado (¿De quien? Aun no lo se)
Due to hospital error she wound up with Cerebral Palsy. In my opinion has an understanding of some sides of the disabled community that hasn't been explored yet & I have gone thorough many trails and tribulations my writing style can take a repetitive tone but I do so to ensure that people grasp it as a middle child I always felt like an outsider. I have a book already published an Amazon. the title is Baroco Woman speaks under the alias Maguiree Baroco (pronouced Bahrohco) because I love the Baroque period of music the word Baroco is also used to describe misshapen pearls (that fits me) I really don't like my first name so I chose my middle but since nobody's bought it i will post many of my writings here
