Pedro Calderón de la Barca: Poems POEMS BY PEDRO CALDERÓN DE LA BARCA: From 'Life is a Dream' PEDRO CALDERÓN DE LA BARCA , the supreme poet of the spanish stage, was born at Madrid. He became the favorite dramatist of Philip IV, who created him Knight of Santiago in 1637. He took part in the hostilities in Catalonia in 1640, and became a priest in 1651, which did not, however, interfere with his writing for the theatre until his death at Madrid. Numerous translations of his plays have appeared in English, showing his superior lyrical gifts. The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley once wrote of Calderón, "He exceeds all modern dramatists, with the exception of Shakespeare, whom he resembles, however, in the depth of thought and subtlety of imagination of his writings, and in the rare power of interweaving delicate and powerful comic traits with the most tragical situations."
