??阿萊桑德雷早期的作品是在魯文·達里奧，安東尼奧·馬查多，以及烏納穆諾，希梅內斯的影響下寫就的。1928年詩人在《輪廓》（ÁMBITO）中嶄露頭腳，初次顯示了自己的風格，那是一部關於自然與愛的水晶般的詩集。在此前後，阿萊桑德雷開始閱讀西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的作品，在詩集《大地之戀》（PASIÓN DE LA TIERRA 1935）中其對詩人的影響可見一斑。裡面的詩歌被有意識地安排成一系列次序，它們欲要探究一個所有真實之物都碎裂其中的世界。《毀滅或愛情》（LA DESTRUCTIÓN O EL AMOR 1935）關注性愛與死亡，它堪稱阿萊桑德雷詩歌作品中的傑作，也是整個20世紀西班牙詩歌中最具影響力的作品之一。用詩人自己的話說，這些早期詩集關注的中心是：“宇宙那充滿愛意的統一”。
??在阿桑德雷晚期的作品中，《同一的世界》（MUNDO A SOLAS）早在20世紀30年代就已寫成，但卻遲至1950年才得以出版。《心的歷史》（HISTORIA DEL CORAZÓN 1954）集中關注人類的團結。《在一個遼闊的領域裡》（EN UN VASTO DOMINIO 1962），阿萊桑德雷將死亡的主題結合在一個宇宙的，歷史的框架中。 在實驗性的《知識的對話》中，有兩個相互對抗的人。其中一位總是談論希望和奮鬥，而另一位則談論哀傷和棄絕。阿萊桑德雷叩問：真理在哪裡？誰人能觸及它？
??Spanish poet, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1977. Aleixandre has been called an existentialist, a mystic pantheist, and a neoromantic. Although Aleixandre did not consider himself an orthodox surrealist, the influence of Freudianism, subconscious associations and dreamlike images, can been seen in his poems. Central motifs in Aleixandre's works are erotic love, solitary, time, and death.

??"The poet, the truly determinative poet, is always a revealer; he is, essentially, a seer, a prophet. But his "prophecy" is of course not a prophecy about the future; for it may have to do with the past: it is a prophecy without time. Illuminator, aimer of light, chastiser of mankind, the poet is the possessor of a Sesame which in a mysterious way is, so to speak, the word of his destiny." (from Nobel Lecture, 1977)
??Vicente Aleixandre was born in Seville. His father was a civil engineer and mother the daughter of the district military superintendent. The family moved in his childhood to Málaga, where he grew up and later depicted its sunny landscape in his poems. When the family moved to Madrid in 1909, Aleixandre attended the Colegio Teresiano, from which he received his high school diploma in 1913. The following year he entered the University of Madrid, where he studied law. Upon graduation in 1920, he became an assistant professor at the School of Mercantile Management in Madrid. He then worked for the Andalusian Railways, and wrote poetry for his own pleasure.
??
??After 1922 Aleixandre started to have serious problems with his health. In a few years he became semi-invalid. He retired to his father's house in the countryside and devoted himself entirely to writing. "Solitude and meditation gave me an awareness, a perspective which I have never lost: that of solidarity with the rest of mankind." Withdrawn and in delicate health, Aleixandre wrote secretly until his first poems were published by friends in 1926 in the magazine Revista de Occidente. Next year Aleixandre moved into a small villa on the northern outskirts of Madrid, where he spent the rest of his life.
??
??Aleixandre's early works were written under the influence of Darío, Antonio Machado, and Juan Ramón Jiménez. In 1928 he made his debut with ÁMBITO, a crystalline collection of poems of nature and love. Around this time Alexaindre started to read the works of Sigmund Freud, whose influence is seen in the collection PASIÓN DE LA TIERRA (1935). The poems are arranged in a series of sequences and explore a world in which real things disintegrate. LA DESTRUCTIÓN O EL AMOR (1935) was about erotic love and death - it is considered Aleixandre's poetic masterpiece and one of the most intense works of all 20th-century Hispanic poetry. In these early collections the central vision was, in the author's words, "the amorous unity of the universe".
??
??In 1933 Aleixandre won the Premio Nacional de literatura. Like others of the Generación del 27 (Generation of 1927) in Spain (Federico García Lorca, Rafael Alberti, Luis Cernuda, Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillén), Aleixandre went through a surrealistic period in the 1930s. During the Spanish Civil War Aleixandre lived in the Republican zone. His works were banned and his house was destroyed near the end of the war. Most of the central figures of the Generation of 1927 had left Spain, but Aleixandre stayed in Madrid due of a chronic kidney disease, from which he had suffered from his youth.
??
??Never submitting to Franco's regime, and known for his political indepencence, Aleixandre was not allowed to publish his works for some time. After the ban was lifted, he published several collections of poems. The first was SOMBRA DEL PARAÍSO (1944), in which pleasure and pain are mixed with nostalgia. "Yes, poet, love and grief are your kingdom. / Yours is mortal flesh that quickened by the spirit / blazes in the night or rises up at mighty noon, / immense prophetic tongue that licking at the sky / illumines
