La Glorieta de Becquer. The Chiquita Piconera


One of the most beautiful and visited the Glorieta de Sevilla is dedicated to the poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer located in the Parque de MarĂ­a Luisa .
In a circular white marble surrounding a swamp cypress or bald cypress (Tadoxium distichum), work Lorenzo Valera Collaut was inaugurated on December 9, 1911 at the initiative the brothers Alvarez Quintero .


This monument consists of several parts, one where we can just see a pedestal with a bust of the poet's date of birth and death of the poet.

Elsewhere we find 3 female figures sitting on a bench shown as "love excited" , the "love possessed" and "love lost" representing rhyme "love happens" composed of Becquer.

also are two bronze figures, a reclining figure representing the "wounded love" and another is Cupid Cupid or representing the "love hurts."

All this wonderful work of bronze sculpture marbles accompanied stands on an octagonal base.


The old design also included shelves where they could be found verses of the poet, in 1918 had a first amendment where he removed an iron gate in 1988 inside the gate was changed and by 1996 is added to the outer gate and restored the assembly.

Anecdotally still count on today's young lovers lay bouquets of flowers at this wonderful monument also say anecdotally that the tree is set around the Mississippi and was planted between 1850-1870 , can reach 45 meters high and reaches 300 years old.

here To say goodbye I leave the poem which inspired the female to 3 images As a tribute to this great universal poet.


Rima X
Gustavo Adolfo Becquer

The invisible atoms air around
throb and swell,
the sky melts in golden rays,
the earth trembles overjoyed.
hear harmonies floating in waves,
sound of kisses and the beating of wings
my eyes are closed ... ? What happens?
Tell me?
Silence! It is love that happens!
