26-APR-1898 :-BIRTH OF Vicente Aleixandre , Nobel Prize Winner .

Vicente Pío Marcelino Cirilo Aleixandre y Merlo 
(April 26, 1898 – December 14, 1984) was a Spanish poet who was born in Seville.Aleixandre received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1977 "for a creative poetic writing which illuminates man's condition in the cosmos and in present-day society, at the same time representing the great renewal of the traditions of Spanish poetry between the wars". He was part of the Generation of '27.
Aleixandre's early poetry, which he wrote mostly in free verse, is highly surrealistic. It also praises the beauty of nature by using symbols that represent the earth and the sea. Many of Aleixandre's early poems are filled with sadness. They reflect his feeling that people have lost the passion and free spirit that he saw in nature.
He died in Madrid in 1984.
