Mexican identity, popular copla, “Amapolita morada” [“Purple little poppy”], Alfonso Reyes, Manuel M. Ponce, Las Mañanitas.Abstract
The copla “Amapolita morada”, the reason for the creation of the poem “Glosa de mi tierra”, by Alfonso Reyes and the song Las Mañanitas by Manuel M. Ponce. In both works, poet and musician leave testimony of one of the central concerns of the group to which they belong, The Ateneo de la Juventud. Wild and silent flower, glass of complaint, the poppy is a symbol of the wild in the poem of Kings. Young woman who wakes up among the stream of slow chimes and birdsong on a small-town morning, the flower is an image of melancholy for Manuel M. Ponce. The wild and the melancholic are the characteristics that both Mexicans consider essential of the Mexican soul.
