Coplas por la muerte de su padre by Jorge Manrique
QR code
"Coplas por la muerte de su padre" by Jorge Manrique is an elegy written after November 11, 1476. Composed following the death of his father, the Master of Santiago Rodrigo Manrique, this meditation on life, fame, fortune, and death became one of Spanish literature's most celebrated works. Through forty stanzas of distinctive broken-foot verse, Manrique reflects on mortality's power to level all humans, the fleeting nature of time, and worldly vanity, before
celebrating his father's virtues as an exemplary knight and crusader. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
