A poet from this country parenthetically noted: "in those depths, your flesh still dreams" after lowering her lover's body "down to the humble, sunny earth." That sonnet sequence was inspired by the suicide of the poet's lover Romelio Ureta. Another poet from this country insisted that "it is the hour of departure" in a poem which opens: "The memory of you emerges from the night around me"; that poem is preceded in a collection by a poem which begins: "Tonight I can write the saddest lines."
