An excerpt from "La Flor del Olvido" by Joaquina García Balmaseda, around 1860

"Seek the blessed flower
That lives within the soul,
Whose beneficial influence
Erases all that time inscribe"

"If they give a name so ugly,

I will shred my poems;

Such a word

Doesn’t fit me,

I do not want it;

I would rather

The wind take hold of

My voice,"

From "Ecos del Alma" by Rosario de Acuña.

“A Mi Patria,” written by Clemente Althuas in 1858 Peru.

"Ah! With all my blood, I deserve you!
Could at least divine mercy,
and like Curcio to Rome, with my death
save you, oh homeland, from imminent ruin!"
