Myself", by Walt Whitman, an American poet, by whom Alvaro de Campos was influenced. We conclude that the three phases of the poetry of Álvaro de Campos have a relation with each other, each one being the continuation of the previous one, in that in the end the self-lyrical returns to the same starting point, the decay.

MUSICIANS An honest farmer had once an ass that had been a faithful servant to him a great many years, but was now growing old and every day more and more unfit for work. His master therefore was tired of keeping him and began to think of putting an end to him; but the ass, who saw that some mischief was in the wind, took himself slyly off, and began his journey towards the great city, 'For there,' thought he, 'I may turn musician.'

most demigods were teens. If they survived long enough to graduate from high school, they either stayed on as counselors or left to start lives as best they could in the mortal world.
