Abstract

This essay offers some comments on four self-portraits in verse by Manuel Machado: "Adelfos", from Alma (1902), and "Retrato", "Prólogo-epílogo" and "Yo, poeta decadente...", from El mal poema (1909), drawing upon intertextuality and/or poetic memory. In them, integrative allusions –which harmonize in a new voice– and reflective allusions –in which both voices, imitating and imitated, remain in separate worlds– contribute to resist the ideology of a translucent ego, and to install these poems into the european and american space of decadence.
