¡BELLO ES VIVIR!
José Zorrilla y Moral, b. 1817 at Valladolid, d. 1893,—poet and dramatist. Zorrilla was one of the most popular romantic poets of Spain, and his writings exerted a deep influence on his contemporaries in Spain and Spanish America. Much of his work was done hastily and carelessly. Zorrilla is probably at his best in his Leyendas, which give a somewhat imaginary history of medieval Spain. Works: lyric verse, Soledad del campo, Indecisión, Cantos del trovador, et al.; plays, El zapatero y el rey, Traidor inconfeso y mártir, Don Juan Tenorio, et al.
149.—¡Bello es vivir! (fragmento de Indecisión) has 11 syllables, and 2 rhythmic stresses, to the line:
