Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.

Antonio Machado (1875-1939) was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98. He was born in Seville and educated in Madrid, where he studied law and philosophy. Machado's poetry is known for its simplicity and its focus on the natural world, as well as its themes of love, death, and faith. His most famous works include Campos de Castilla and Soledades. Machado was also an outspoken critic of the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist dictatorship. After his death, his works were banned in Spain, but he has since become one of the most widely read Spanish poets.
