Looked at our Moderator's profile and found an interesting piece of poetry which was hard to understand but seemed beautiful. I wrote Quevedo asking for an explanation and he answered requesting that I post this on the forum:
As you may have guessed, Francisco Quevedo is not my real name. This alias I use refers to the great poet from the Spanish Golden Age, Don Francisco de Quevedo. He wrote the verses that impressed you.
¿Qué otra cosa es verdad sino pobreza
en esta vida frágil y liviana?
What else but poverty is true
in this fragile, superficial life?
Please be so kind as to post this comment of yours on the forum. Perhaps this discussion proves to be of interest to others.
Un saludo cordial,
Quevedo
Graciac Quevedo.
