CAMPOS OCAMPO, Melvin. La espada de agua (The Water Sword ) (Topics of romaticism in García Lorca). Comunicación [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.2, pp.18-30. ISSN 1659-3820.

This paper analyzes the "Poema doble del lago Eden" (Double Poem of the Lake of Eden), by Federico García Lorca, in order to trace along the text diverse topics of romanticism taking as a point of departure Los hijos del limo, by Octavio Paz. It is hypothesized that the text is structured in four tenses; a lost idyllic past, a modern tragic present, a future which wishes to return to the past, and a present which revives the idyllic past. Besides, there is an ambiguous association between water and life and death, and God is tacitly blamed for having lost the idyllic past.

Keywords : Spanish poetry; romanticism; Generation of the 27; Federico García Lorca; Octavio Paz; lost paradise; death; childhood.
