Sonnet to a Nose
Luis de Góngora (1561-1627) and Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645) were well-known as the bitterest of rival poets in the golden age of Spanish Literature. Góngora, on the one hand, represented the movement of Culteranismo, which relished obtusely referential content and a freer, more surreal style; Quevedo, on the other hand, was the major proponent of Conceptismo, favoring concision in style and wit in content. They ceaselessly composed poems lampooning each others physical, moral, and literary demerits. In the following parody-sonnet, "A una Nariz," Francisco de Quevedo paints the nose of his rival on an epic scale. Here is a translation of it I finished recently, as well as the original Spanish given after.
