The Puerto Rican.. Poem Reflection

This poem describes the character traits of a puerto Rican through the authors point of view. One of the main lines that stuck out to me in this poem is the following line :

Dark in color, the forehead clear,

the glance languid, proud and penetrating,

the beard black, the face pale,

lean and austere, the nose well-proportioned,

This is the main features that are seen in a Puerot rican person. I believe that when this was written it was talking more about the Taino indians when it talks about dark in color. When the author developes this poem I can see that perfection is on his mind. The next line that stuck out to me was the following:

"and in love for his country insuperable:

this is, without a doubt, a faithful portrait

to depict a good Puerto Rican."

At the end he says this is what depicts a "good puerto Rican" reffering that not all Puerto Rican are described by the way he described them in the poem. I enjoyed this poem very much.
