Through one of my courses, I discovered an interesting form of poetry. Below is my found-text poem on Rebecca- a fascinating character from Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude
That Sunday, in
fact, Rebeca arrived
(41)
She carried her
parents’ bones (42)
A solitary
character and an impenetrable heart
(65)
Who fed on earth
and whitewash (223)
Within a few years
(9)
Entering the house
(77)
Pietro Crespi was
young and blond, the most handsome and well-mannered (62)
Already caused a
colossal disturbance (233)
Between Amaranta
and Rebeca (51)
Two unknown and
beautiful adolescent girls (55)
Rebecca who was
the one he wanted (71)
Lost control of
herself (95)
To that protomale (95)
Jose Arcadio (25)
Overcome by the
growing anxiety (65)
Ate handfuls of
earth in the garden with a suicidal drive (68)
Wild passion (96)
Began to be known (151)
She had decided to
get married (77)
Jose Arcadio and
Rebeca went to live in the house Arcadio had built (134)
Unfortunate fate (109)
One September
afternoon (135)
The sound of a
pistol shot echoed (135)
Jose Arcadio lying
face down (136)
Paralyzed with
stupor (123)
To attain the
privileges of solitude (225)
Rebeca closed the
doors of her house (136)
Lost forever (243)
