La elegía es un subgénero de la poesía lírica que se caracteriza por ser un poema de lamentación. En la Antigüedad grecolatina, el término "elegía" se refería específicamente al tipo de metro utilizado, conocido como dístico elegiaco. Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo, el concepto de elegía se expandió y ahora se utiliza para describir cualquier poema que exprese tristeza, dolor o pérdida.

El dístico elegiaco es un esquema métrico compuesto por un hexámetro seguido de un pentámetro. Este tipo de verso se utilizaba en poemas de lamentación, donde el poeta expresaba su tristeza por la pérdida de algo o alguien.

"The Science of Poetry: Why the Endecasillabo Appeals to Our Brain". The endecasillabo, a type of verse with eleven syllables in Spanish, has a pleasing structure that captures our brain's attention. Francisco Javier Tapiador, dean of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Biochemistry in Toledo, explores the science behind poetry in his book "The Science of Poetry." Poetry follows certain rules, and it is through science that we can uncover these patterns and structures that make a poem successful or not. The most obvious examples are rhyme and rhythm, which determine whether a poem flows well or falls flat. The science behind poetry aims to understand why we are drawn to works like "The Odyssey" or why a poem by Garcilaso captivates us.

In June 1923, Rainer Maria Rilke's Elegies of Duino were published, marking the poetic culmination of his career. Over the course of a decade, Rilke wrote these ten elegies, which represent the pinnacle of his poetic expression. The process was not without its challenges, as Rilke experienced periods of artistic and existential crisis, leading to a stripping away of personal identity and a focus on impersonalization. This approach, as explained by José María Valverde, one of Rilke's prominent translators into Spanish, aimed to evoke experiences rather than provoke grand ideas or emotions. The ultimate goal was to illuminate life, a perspective that required a new vision – the angelic vision, which became the cornerstone of Rilke's poetic exploration during this period.
