Activity
Although Byron, Shelley, and Keats may be considered the most in uential British Romantic
poets, Romanticism also took root in Spanish-language poetry. In this activity, you’ll analyze the
poem "To His Horse" by the Cuban poet José María Heredia. Heredia was one of the rst
Romantic poets of the Americas, ushering in an era of Latin American Romanticism. He spent
part of his life in exile in the United States and Mexico, and his nostalgia for his homeland of Cuba
are woven throughout his poems in dreamy depictions of nature.

Read the poem " To His Horse " to answer the following questions.
Which features of Romanticism does the poem have? Select all options that apply.
logic and practicality

Correct!
Explanation:
"To His Horse" features the inner emotions and imagination of the narrator, who considers
the horse his friend. He imagines the horse carrying him across the plain, and the fantasy
shows his individual experience with the horse. Logic, practicality, science, and technology
are features of Neoclassicism, and don’t apply to the poem's subject or tone.
