Juventud, divino tesoro, ¡ya te vas para no volver! — Rubén Darío | Printable Wall Art

“Juventud, divino tesoro, ¡ya te vas para no volver!”
“Youth, divine treasure, you are leaving, never to return!”

Words by Rubén Darío (1867-1916) — Poet, father of Spanish-American modernismo.

About this quote

This famous line captures the poignant realisation that youth is a precious gift that slips away all too quickly. Darío characterises the vigour and optimism of early life as a divine treasure. The sentiment is bittersweet: it encourages us to cherish the present moment, while mourning the quiet, inevitable passage of time and the vitality that fades with it.

The line is the repeating refrain from Rubén Darío’s poem Canción de otoño en primavera, published in his 1905 collection Cantos de vida y esperanza. It stands as a defining work of the Spanish-American modernismo movement.

People often hang this print in a bedroom or dressing area as a gentle daily reminder to cherish life.
