The second book of poetry published by Marechal was received with warm praise from Jorge Luis Borges in the Martín Fierro magazine of December 12, 1926 (year III, number 36): “This book adds days and nights to reality. He doesn't get hold of them in memory, he invents them; it is as inventive as sunrises and sunsets. It is enlarging the world. (...) Without the slightest hint of worldliness, I want to praise him. My verses are a stay in Buenos Aires, his are a continued departure. Days like arrows is the most spontaneous May twenty-fifth of our poetry: a flag-bearing and partying book, a book whose grandiloquence is an accomplice of happiness, never of fear. Leopoldo: Joy that doesn't fit in a whole morning, it fits in a line of those you wrote ". Sentence the author of Fervor de Buenos Aires.


Leopoldo Marechal (Buenos Aires, 1900 - 1970) was an Argentine poet, playwright, novelist and essayist, author of one of the most important novels of Argentine literature of the 20th century, Adán Buenosayres.
