“for impassioned writing with wide horizons, characterized by sensuous intelligence and humanistic integrity.” The Nobel Prize for Literature went to the Mexican writer, poet, essayist and critic Octavio Paz. The power of the poetic vocation gives the words a form of otherwise unattainable content. “We never say/ the words of the poem/ The poem tells us” (from Return 1969). In a poem to Roman Jakobson of 1976 he articulates his stance: “Between what I see and what I say, /between what I say and what I keep silent, /between what I keep silent and what I dream, /between what I dream and what I forget: /poetry.” Paz’s poetry and essays evolve from an intractable but fruitful union of cultures: pre-Columbian Indian, the Spanish Conquistadors and Western Modernism. Experienences from India and other areas are incluced as well. All of this has, in shifting configurations, been reflected in his work. His own identity, Mexican and, in its broader meaning, Latin-American, has already been explored decisively in The Labyrinth of Solitude (1950). The poet himself embodies this union of cultures – it is in his blood. His mother’s family was Spanish, from Andalusia. On his father’s side the Indian and the Spanish are combined.
