************************************************ ******************************
Castilian Thomas Morales was born on October 10, 1884 in the village M oya (Gran Canaria). After six years, moved to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to study at the renowned school of St. Augustine, where the match which will then be his unconditional friends: Rafael Romero, poet Alonso Quesada, and the painter Néstor Martín Fernández de la Torre, who illustrated the edition of The Roses of Hercules.
finished his studies in the capital, he moved to Cadiz in 1900 and then to Madrid in 1904 to study medicine, a profession that will serve as Agaete family doctor. During these years he had read and liked the classic Catullus, Ovid, and hence the ease of eloquence, for the particular word, just, and for the use of certain verses as the Alexandrian.
His first poems were published in the press in 1902. It is in the capital of Spain where it comes into contact with the modernist poets and Francisco Salvador Rueda Villaespesa. Tomás Morales also attends literary gatherings of coffee or some salons like Columbine, Carmen de Burgos, and met Fortun, Enrique Díez Canedo "Gonzalez and Blanco, among many others. Soon it is well received and recognized in literary circles and his poetic works began to read in the magazines of the time.
His first book, Poems of Glory, Love and the Sea, was published in 1908 and is acclaimed by critics, who discovers a young poet (24 years) with a very new and different signs. A lyric that shows other breaths and feelings, a bit away from personal feelings and reality rhymed romanticism, lyrical expression tends to the universal, to sing musically beautiful.
Between 1908 and 1910, Thomas Morales concludes Medicine and is dedicated to make known their verses. Return to Gran Canaria and settled in his hometown. In 1910 awarded the first prize in the Floral Games of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and then installed in Agaete where Ramos will marry Leonor Armas in 1914 and had as its physician.
In 1919 he moved with his family to the capital, while making his entry into politics, particularly in the newly formed Liberal Democratic Party. He was elected director and shall be the Vice President of the Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria. These are the years of the awards and honors. But his health deteriorates and death finds him, on 15 August 1921, at his home in Calle Perez Galdos in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Tomás Morales
dazzled critics and writers with the publication of his first book, Poems of Glory, Love and the Sea (1908), edited, according to Professor Oswaldo Guerra, the care manager Latina Magazine, Magdaleno of Castro, in the Gutenberg printing press, established in the street Jacometrezo n º 80 de Madrid. The poet surprised to address known issues with another look, another approach, particularly with another language. Tomás Morales shows creator of a line steeped in Atlanticism. He inspires the Greco-Roman world, cosmopolitanism and our own cultural, and especially the sea, the Atlantic Ocean lapping our ports and leads his men to the West Indies.
The poet also writes a play in prose, which is represented in 1910 by the Society of "The Twelve" and that in 1955 it published a study by Professor Sebastian de la Nuez.
In late 1919, the writer has prepared all the material that will form the Roses of Hercules (Book II), carefully edited by the Library Pueyo de Madrid. The book, with foreword by Díez-Canedo, has covers designed by the painter Néstor Martín Fernández de la Torre; guards Jose Hurtado de Mendoza and interior of the brothers cartoons Miguel (architect) and Néstor Martín Fernández de la Torre.
But in the modern mind of the writer already orchestrated the formation of a project that would result in the publication of a work unit, reflecting the totality of a poetic universe, an impression that comprise the book published in 1908, The Poems Glory, Love and the Sea, edited and augmented by their recent work. He did not know this edition, due out in 1922 driven by his wife and taking care of some of his friends. In this project, called The Rose of Hercules (Book I), says Professor Sánchez Robayna which "may explain some important issues his poetic language, "ie, published a poetic corpus developed in the first decade of the century, that responds to the canons of the time, and not the date of printing.
Poetry of Thomas Morales realizes his taste for the classics but also of their readings and Parnassians and symbolist influences, Darius, and other modernists. To Villaespesa "is the strongest of all the young poets of Spain, the best educated, the wider and rhythm the most lavish palette, and Salvador Rueda Morales Thomas's poetry is "reality, extent, grandeur, epic outburst, and a way to launch the image that is what characterizes most poets have a certain strength of the Cyclops. "
find in Morales, color, music, descriptions, light, everyday life, the city, the streets, Vegueta, port, sea, but always looking, as expressed by Ramiro de Maeztu, "the profound value of things that seem worth little." Ultimately, a new way to write poetry, away from the aesthetics of Romanticism and the Regional School of La Laguna. with the poetry of Thomas Morales, Canary enters Modernism, will be followed Saul Alonso Quesada and Thoron.
