William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.

Antonio Machado Ruiz (Seville, July 26, 1875-Colliure, February 22, 1939) was a Spanish poet, the youngest representative of the Generation of 98. His early work, of a modernist style (like his brother Manuel's), evolved towards a symbolist intimacy with romantic features, which matured into a poetry of human commitment, on one hand, and contemplation of existence, on the other; a synthesis that in Machado's voice echoes the most ancestral popular wisdom. In the words of Gerardo Diego, "he spoke in verse and lived in poetry"

He was one of the distinguished students of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (ILE), with whose ideals he was always committed. He died in exile in the agony of the Second Spanish Republic.
