On his father's side, his grandfather was a prominent liberal intellectual and one of the first authors to write a novel with an expressly Indian theme. Thanks to his grandfather's extensive library, Paz came into early contact with literature. Like his grandfather, his father was also an active political journalist who, together with other progressive intellectuals, joined the agrarian uprisings led by Emiliano Zapata. Paz began to write at an early age, and in 1937, he travelled to Valencia, Spain, to participate in the Second International Congress of Anti-Fascist Writers. Upon his return to Mexico in 1938, he became one of the founders of the journal, Taller (Workshop), a magazine which signaled the emergence of a new generation of writers in Mexico as well as a new literary sensibility. In 1943, he travelled to the USA on a Guggenheim Fellowship where he became immersed in Anglo-American Modernist poetry; two years later, he entered the Mexican diplomatic service and was sent to France, where he wrote his fundamental study of Mexican identity, The Labyrinth of Solitude

I travel your body, like the world, your belly is a plaza full of sun, your breasts two churches where blood performs its own, parallel rites, my glances cover you like ivy, you are a city the sea assaults, a stretch of ramparts split by the light in two halves the color of peaches

Contents Sourced Specific Works Unsourced External links ... edit Sourced Only now have I understood that there was a secret relationship between what I have called my expulsion from the present and the writing of poetry. Poetry is in love with the instant and seeks to relive it in the poem, thus separating it from sequential time and turning it into a fixed present. But at that time I wrote without wondering why I was doing it. I was searching for the gateway to the present: I wanted to belong to my time and to my century. A little later this obsession became a fixed idea: I wanted to be a modern poet. My search for modernity had begun. Nobel Lecture, December 8, 1990 To fight evil is to fight ourselves.

Octavio Paz: When I was young I took as my own a motto of Andre Gide: The writer must know how to swim against the current. This motto is valid for every person. R/S: Do you think THE REBEL (by Albert Camus) has retained its force? OP: I met Camus when he was writing 'L'Homme Revolte.' Actually, to translate 'revolte' as 'rebel' is not entirely exact. In the word 'revolt' there are shades and meanings that don't appear in 'rebellion.' In ALTERNATING CURRENT I tried to show the different senses of rebellion, revolt, and revolution. Rebellion is a term of military origin and has an individualist cast; Revolution and Revolt are sister terms but Revolution is more intellectual, a philosophical term, while Revolt is older and more spontaneous. Revolution is revolt converted into theory and system. Camus' book would have meant much more if he had made a more precise distinction between the ancient and healthy revolt and the modern revolution.

(from 'Piedra de sol') Octavio Paz was born in Mexico City. His grandfather was a novelist and his father worked as a secretary to Emiliano Zapata. When Zapata was driven into retreat and assassinated, the family lived in exile in the United States for a short time. After the return to Mexico, Paz studied law and literature at the National University, but refused to take his degree. However, from his youth Paz's ambition was to be a poet.
