Desvelado silencio: La voz a ti debida. (El título como indicador catafórico e intertextual)

Abstract

The publication of the letters of Pedro Salinas to Katherine Whitmore (Bou, 2002) discovered the silence in what she, creator stimulus of his loving trilogy, had been secluded. The title of La voz a ti debida is a cataphoric indicator (López Casanova, 1994), because it is informing of two realities: the poetic expression of the I is produced by the you and, simultaneous, it’s doing a payment for love. La voz a ti debida is analysed like an intertextual borrowing of Egloga III of Garcilaso who, like Salinas, celebrates his lover by means of verses, so both poets are part of a long chain of lyrics voices (Petrarca, Juan de Yepes, Fernando de Herrera, Lope, Quevedo, Bécquer, etc.) which immortaliced their love thanks to the poems.
