#StephenSpender Stephen Spender / Sir Stephen Harold Spender (Kensington, Londres, 1909 - St John's Wood, Londres, 1995) escribió poemas, teatro, novelas, relatos, ensayos, libros de viajes... «Ausencia presente y otros poemas», «El templo», «Diario de Sintra» (junto con W. H. Auden y Christopher Isherwood), «Poemas de España», «Un mundo dentro del mundo», «Diario de China», «Thirties Poets», «The God that Failed» (ensayos de un grupo de autores, incluido él)... son algunos de los títulos bajo los que encontrar sus obras o su vida. ** I Think Continually I think continually of those who were truly great. Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's history Through corridors of light where the hours are suns Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition Was that their lips, still touched with fire, Should tell of the Spirit clothed from head to foot in song. And who hoarded from the Spring branches The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms. What is precious is never to forget The essential delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth. Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light Nor its grave evening demand for love. Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit. Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields See how these names are feted by the waving grass And by the streamers of white cloud And whispers of wind in the listening sky. The names of those who in their lives fought for life Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun they travelled a short while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honour. ** http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/obra-visor/stephen-spender-y-la-vida-literaria-0/html/00d06f54-82b2-11df-acc7-002185ce6064_2.html «En 1935 llegan a Sintra W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender y Christopher Isherwood. Son tres jóvenes escritores que huyen de la Inglaterra puritana por el rechazo a su homosexualidad, e iniciarán un diario que ahora la editorial Gayo Nero recupera». https://www.elmundo.es/cultura/2017/07/22/59726263e5fdea16228b4612.html https://arbor.revistas.csic.es/index.php/arbor/article/view/368 https://elpais.com/diario/1995/07/18/cultura/806018402_850215.html https://www.epdlp.com/escritor.php?id=3039 https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/stephen-spender https://buenosairespoetry.com/2020/04/27/los-verdaderamente-grandes-stephen-spender/ https://www.lamajadesnuda.com/sumario/los-poetas-y-el-poder/107-poesia-y-poder/757-stephen-spender.html https://blogs.20minutos.es/poesia/category/stephen-spender/ https://valenciaplaza.com/diario-a-tres-auden-isherwood-y-spender-en-sintra https://www.infobae.com/cultura/2021/07/23/el-rescate-de-la-voz-de-los-poetas-britanicos-de-los-30/ https://www.elespanol.com/el-cultural/letras/20170623/sintra-verano/225978829_0.html https://www.poemhunter.com/stephen-spender/poems/ https://blogs.20minutos.es/poesia/2010/12/20/stephen-spender-escribir-bajo-los-bombardeo-poesia-y-guerra-ii/ https://www.elespanol.com/el-cultural/letras/poesia/20071122/ausencia-presente-poemas/13499264_0.html https://www.elmundo.es/cultura/laesferadepapel/2019/05/09/5cd0938dfdddfffc8d8b4752.html https://www.abc.es/cultura/arte/20150608/abci-cartas-amor-lucian-freud-201506081112.html https://www.elmundo.es/cultura/2014/10/18/54417e5822601d326d8b457b.html https://www.elespanol.com/el-cultural/letras/20190705/isherwood-armas-letras/411460290_0.html https://www.elespanol.com/el-cultural/letras/poesia/20060706/cancion-cuna-poemas/18248816_0.html https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/history/articles/the-god-that-failed https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/04/26/specials/leavitt-spender.html https://www.theguardian.com/books/2004/may/09/biography.features1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJBDicYQ7JU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYT78UjY85k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stg3YSPiRNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voW0XkdjSXU http://stephenspender.weebly.com/photos-biography-literary-movement.html https://www.ft.com/content/4fe21066-4729-11e5-af2f-4d6e0e5eda22 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/books/article-3213254/The-poet-Britain-s-pottiest-parent-son-describes-love-affairs-holidays-breastfeeding-kittens.html https://worldofwonder.net/bornthisday-writer-stephen-spender/ https://www.lecturalia.com/autor/2557/stephen-spender https://www.casadellibro.com/libros-ebooks/stephen-spender/42267 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Spender https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Spender https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Temple_(novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_God_that_Failed ** Su padre, Harold Spender: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Spender Su esposa Inez Pearn / Elizabeth Lake: https://www.facebook.com/ana.avila.luna.navarrete/photos/a.1847657932151166/3032187000364914/ Su esposa Natasha Spender: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Spender Su hijo Matthew Spender: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Spender Su hija Elizabeth Spender: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Spender
