HOLIDAY OF BULLS IN MADRID

 The broad circus fills
 Of clamorous multitude
 That attends to seeing in the sand
 The bloody doubtful fight,
 And everything in wheel resounds



The beautiful Zaida occupied
 His golden viewing-points
 That the art filigreed
 And with mirrors and flowers
 And damasks to it adorned



 None to the risk submits
 And the fixed bull is in way,
 When a herdsman who comes
 Of the door of the Vega,
 It pushed in the knee, and said:


 On a horse alazano
 Cutlery of shows and gold,
 Demand licenses urban
 To spear a bull
 A Christian gentleman.

THE NEOCLASSIC LITERATURE

 THE LITERATURE OF THE 18TH CENTURY: NEOCLASSICISM

 In literature the Neoclassicism was imposed: the illustrated authors b stirrup-straps of improvement of the company, of application of the racionalist thought and of spreading of the knowledge. This explains that there should triumph the classic beginning, based on the harmony and the balance, and that should reject the excesses of the imagination and of the expression that they had characterized to the baroque literature. As it had happened in the Renaissance, the classic art there turned into the model of the ilustrados.uscaron newly aesthetic model who was answering to his aspirations.

LITERARY FORMS

 POETRY

The Spanish Neoclassicism searches his models in France and Italy. But the written Neoclassicism is not almost non-existent in Spain, so the same poets who take refuge in his procedure connect also with the creative luxuriance of the Renaissance Spanish literature of the 16th century or take refuge in the taste prerromántico.
 The poets of this epoch register in two schools: the Salamancan and the Madrillera. Of the first one Meléndez Valdés and Churches stand out. To the group of Madrid there belong the Moratín father and son, Iriarte, Samaniego, Arriaza and the count of Nonscab.
NEOCLASSIC POETRY

  The 18th century I initiate with the new ideas of the illustration. The writers were doing re unions specialized so called gatherings, to exchange opinions and to express his critiques of everything related to the culture and the literature.
 The neoclassic poetry I develop in the 18th century inspired by ideal Frenchmen of the illustration; these there were proposing the return lyric models of the classic Antiquity (odes and eclogues).


CHARACTERISTICS

We can consider four general characteristics of the neoclassic poetry:
 - Lack of originality in the poets. The classic models were imitated (Greeks and Latin people) and he was named the prominent figures by names of classic heroes.
 - lack of real emotion. One was not finding the depth and energy of the poets of previous centuries.
 - use of a very light or too rhetorical and artful language.
 - treatment of topics like the love, the political satire and the praise of some progresses of the epoch.
SPANISH POETRY: GIVE TORIGINS TO THE CURRENT IMPORTANCEHE

CHARACTERISTICS:

 - THE BRIEFNESS: The lyric texts are in the habit of being brief. In any case more brief than the narrative ones.

- THE LYRIC TEXT DOES NOT HAVE HISTORY: In the poetry everything is to the service of what the poet wants to express. Prominent figures can appear in a time and a space, but not that appear in a plot, since in the narrative texts, but in order that across them the poet could express.

 -THE LANGUAGE OF THE POETRY: It is, especially, suggestive, since it appeals to the feelings of the recipient.

MANUEL JOSE QUINTANA
FIESTA DE TOROS EN MADRID

El ancho circo se llena
De multitud clamorosa
Que atiende a ver en la arena
La sangrienta lid dudosa,
Y todo en torno resuena

La bella Zaida ocupó
Sus dorados miradores
Que el arte afiligranó
Y con espejos y flores
Y damascos a adornó

Ninguno al riesgo se entrega
Y está en medio el toro fijo,
Cuando un potrero que llega
De la puerta de la Vega,
Hincó la rodilla, y dijo:

Sobre un caballo alazano
Cubierto de galas y oro,
Demanda  licencia  urbano
Para alancear un toro
Un caballero cristiano.
