Colombian poet, one of the precursors of modernismo. Silva’s life was shadowed by the loss of a crucial manuscript, family debt, and the death of a beloved sister. He committed suicide at 31, leaving behind poems marked by technical innovations, haunting musical tones, and a brooding spirit of pessimism. Reflecting the spirit of European symbolism, they had great influence on Rubén Darío and other modernistas.

Con la excepción de algunas breves temporadas en el extranjero - en Europa (París, Suiza y Londres) y en Venezuela, como secretario de la Legislación de su país en Caracas -, la vida de Silva transcurre en el ambiente cerrado y nada estimulante del Bogotá de sus años.
