The subject of this research is the Russian and Spanish poetry of the XX century, while the object is the symbolization of color terms in Russian and Spanish poetry of the XX century, as well as ways and mechanisms of such symbolization. The author examines the symbolism of color terms associated with the images-symbols of plants, animals, precious stones, heavenly hosts, and natural phenomena in the Russian and Spanish poetry of the XX century. The poems of Federico Garcia Lorca, Joaquín Romero Murube, Antonio Machado. Vyacheslav Ivanov, Andrey Bely, and Irina Odoyevtseva served as the material for this research. Methodology also recalls to the conceptual linguistics (analysis of color terms as the significant elements of the sphere of concepts of Russian and Spanish languages), as well as mythopoetic school of literary studies (mythopoetic analysis). The main conclusions consist in the following statements: the poetry of the prominent Spanish poets of the early XX centuryAntonio Machado and Federico Garcia Lorca is characterized with the heightened symbolization of color terms, associated with the reference to the symbolic “correspondence theory of truth”. The search of correspondence between color terms, natural phenomena, precious gems, etc. is also common to the Russian poetry of the Silver Age. The scientific novelty consists in the profound analysis of multiple symbolically understood colors and color images characteristic to the Russian and Spanish poetry of that time. Both, Russian and Spanish poets of the XX century stayed off the simple colors, sacrificing them for the compound, symbolically understood color terms that require an additional interpretation from the reader.

The most influential assignment of the author's career was the first assignment in his first undergraduate class: take a picture and describe it in a thousand words. From there, the author found a way to spend each semester of college writing about the photo essays by Robert Frank and Brassai, exploring surrealistic works by Jorge Luis Borges and Federico Garcia Lorca, or pursing artistic musings. Given the author's enthusiasm for creative pursuits, his standing as an MD/PhD student may come as a surprise. However, creative courses served as outlets from his medical school prerequisite-heavy course load. The author craved their self-guided and exploratory approach. This craving grew to incorporate an interest in research. What follows is the tortuous route that led the author to join an MD/PhD program.

Fecha de recepción: 30 de noviembre de 2011.Fecha de aceptación: 10 de febrero de 2012.El autor analiza unos sonetos de Francisco de Quevedo y de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, en que el amante sueña con vencer el tiempo o con retener el amado ausente. Demuestra que si bien el desengaño destruye una y otra vez el loco afán del amante de aferrarse a la hermosura, en su poesía tanto Quevedo como sor Juana logran liberarse, por breves instantes, de la visión del mundo que han heredado de la sociedad de su tiempo.
