Platero y yo by Juan Ramón Jiménez
"Platero y yo" by Juan Ramón Jiménez is a prose poem published in 1914. The work centers on a writer and his beloved donkey, Platero, described as small, soft, and silvery. Through his constant companion, the author reflects on life's simple joys, memories, and the people around him. Platero becomes a symbol of tenderness and purity, serving as a confidant who the writer believes understands everything except human language, offering warmth and
companionship through the years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
