Antonio Machado - Crew

Antonio Machado Ruiz (Seville, 26 July 1875-Colliure, 22 February 1939) was a Spanish poet, the youngest representative of the Generation of ‘98. His initial work, modernist in style (like that of his brother Manuel), evolved towards a symbolist intimism with romantic features, which matured into a poetry of human commitment, on the one hand, and of contemplation of existence, on the other; a synthesis which in Machado's voice echoes the most ancestral popular wisdom.
