The Road is Made by Walking
Antonio Machado was one of the most profound poets writing in the Spanish language. A member of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98, his work evolved from an early modernism to a very personal form of symbolism. Tinged with melancholy and pessimism, his writing considered the destiny of man, the history of Spain and the contradictions between our illusions and reality.
