![]() ![]() It talks about traversing unknown regions, regions where there are no paths, so you are forced to create them. Precisely because of the sense that he is lost, "wanderer" makes sense on the poem. As above, I really don't like the passive for this poem, it feels less intimate and/or involved (outisde here yes, I like my pasives well enough :P).ĥ. The traveler makes the path, not vice versa. Besides, the use of the passive makes it look like as though the path creates itself in front of the traveler or a an unnamed force does it when in fact it's the opposite. ![]() Feels too convoluted to me, I tired to keep the sentences, like the feeling, simple and clean. It's a poosibility, but mine keeps the same crescent rhythm and pause structure of the original, so I like it better even if it's less synthactically correct.ģ. Of course this is personal interpretation, and it doesn't mean yours is wrong, far from it.Ģ. In my mind, it less to do with the active pursuit of glory as much as the fact that, as a man drawn deeply inwards, he does not even desire glory. As for "want" or "pursue" it's a matter of interpretation. It's not correct to add an article to "glory" as a common name, unless you refer to a specific kind of glory ("I never wanted the glory of being the first man on the moon") or you refer specifically to the theological concept of Glory, in which case you should capitalize it. Súbitamente y quebrarse…Nunca perseguí la gloria.Caminante, son tus huellas Es mi camino y nada mas.Ĭaminante no hay Camino By: Antonio MachadoĬaminos sobre el mar.Nunca persequí la gloria,Ĭomo pompas de jabón.Me gusta verlos pintarse I ask that you bare in mind that this is MY perspective and experience. I will be keeping this blog for my future self and to provide yet another perspective of what life as a PCV is like. We all have distinct paths and while it is important to listen to advice, we ultimately leave our own footprints behind and no one else’s. That being said, I hope to document my journey in service through this blog. ‘Wayfarer, there is no way only wake-trails on the waters.’ The last two lines of the poem shows that the ‘Caminante’ has no path because it all disappears with the ocean and its bubbles.” ![]() The last part of the poem urges the ‘Caminante’ to not look back but forward, to keep walking the path that he has created for himself. Make your way by going farther.’ ‘Caminante’ has to keep walking to create his destiny and the new road he walks. The poet then examines how the ‘Caminante’ makes his own decisions and, thus, his own path: ‘Wayfarer, there is no way. The Spanish poet notes that the ‘Caminante’-or Wayfarer or Wanderer-already leaves footprints from his past: ‘Is your footprints and no other.’ He explains that the footprints represent his distinct past and no one else’s. “explores human destiny by using a metaphor of a road: we walk the road and thus walk life, observing the world, making choices. The Department of English at the George Washington University offers a great analysis of Machado’s poem saying that the poem I thought about his poem Caminante no hay Camino (see below in Spanish/ link for English) and how it talks about owning your distinct path. I can’t rely too much on what I read as we will all have different journeys. Looking at previous PCV blog’s has been useful in the preperation for my service, but it has also been very overwhelming. I sometimes find myself questioning the motives behind people’s decisions to serve based on what I have read, seen, and heard.
