León de Greiff is Inspiration
León de
Greiff is an inspirational poet that changed my perspective about
how I can be successful in life. I was inspired by his biography of
outstanding
achievements and have admired him since the first moment I read about
him. He
is a great writer which innovated poetry in literature, changing the
way of
looking at daily life.
León de
Greiff was born in July 22, 1895 in Medellin, Colombia. He was
born into a family with a great history ancestries, because his mother
was German
and father Swedish. Lucky this, I believe he had the opportunity to
include in
his writings different cultures and thoughts, becoming an innovative
writer. Being
known because his stylistic innovations in poetry and deliberately
eclectic use
of obscure lexicon, being an encourager of the literary movement:
modernism.
Since he
was young he demonstrate considerable literary concern,
developing an innovation, real innovation stile in his writings. So, I
really
believe he was on target to change the normal perspective of writing
that most
of the writers have, making their works not difficult and the symbolism
they
gave to them; which is the opposite way León used. Because of the
thousands of
times dark symbolism he used, due to the double ascendancy he had in
this
family. Moreover, his works are: complex, introverted, sarcastic,
discontented,
imaginative, explosions of rhythms and words of madness.
Nowadays,
I thanks to what I learned about him: 1. be creative and
innovative in everything I do for changing the way that others see
something, 2.
never stop searching for new qualities I may have in what I like, and
3.helping
others to continue believing in what they are good for. The first thing
I learned,
he had it in the moment he realized he may change literature by
innovating and
creating different styles in writing for making other realized it was a
better
idea than the normal one they were following. The second, he realized
he can
used the double offspring he had, using it in favour for the new style
of
writing he was going to create. And the third, he make it up when he
created a
cultural movement: “Cultural Promotion and Fine Arts”, conform of
intellectuals
and artists with different talents in writing. And thanks of the
different
talents he found, he created: modernism.
In
conclusion, León de Greiff is an inspirational poet that changed my
perspective about how I can be successful in life; taking into account
the
three aspects I learned from him. So, I do really consider their works
will to be
remain a boom for society and Literature.
