can someone summarize whsat his poem "song of spring in the fall" please
Dario was married twice: first to Rafaela Contreras (not Contrera) and then to Rosario Murillo. I haven't the time to disentangle things; maybe someone else can do it, particularly with respect to the time frame.Alloco1 16:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- I believe I've disentangled that, and also filled in his life up to the point where he burst onto the literary scene. If someone wants to expand this article, I believe the two sources I've used contain a great deal more that could be used to flesh it out. - Jmabel | Talk 05:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cut
I cut the following: "Rubén Darío was born with a thirst for expanding his horizons far beyond his immediate and beloved Nicaragua. He wanted to explore the rest of America and the world. Unfortunately, his economic circumstances did not allow for this to happen during his childhood." Pure hype, no content. And, no, he didn't travel as a child, but he was a published author at age 12, hardly a deprived child. - Jmabel | Talk 04:50, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pequeña
Recently, a quotation was altered from "Si pequeña es la patria, uno grande la sueña" to "Si la patria es pequeña, uno grande la sueña." I've seen it quoted both ways, and googling wasn't much help (except to amuse me by showing many pages that misattribute the quotation to García Marquez. Does anyone have a good (probably non-web) citation on this? - Jmabel | Talk 05:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- And now it's back to "Si pequeña es la patria…", which frankly sounds better, so I'm guessing it is correct. - Jmabel | Talk 05:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Non-neutrality
"His poetry brought back vigor to the stale, monotonous Spanish-language poetry of the time."
Subjective much? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.210.135 (talk) 21:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] no mention of his son
this article has no mention of Ruben Darios son whom when Contreras,the mother dies short after giving birth, was sent to live with an uncle and sent ruben dario into what some considered to be depresion and a serious drinking problem....at least that is what my father had told me long ago, about him....he was my fathers great grand father. I'll double check with him and get more info.
