Abstract

The Brazilian poet Antônio da Fontoura Xavier (1856-1922) has been quoted as one of the sources for the poem "Salute to the Eagle" (1906) written by the Nicaraguan modernist poet Rubén Darío (1867-1916). This article offers some information that sheds light on Fontoura Xavier´s works - particularly on his book Opalas (1905) and his poem "The Bald-Headed Eagle" (1890), a source mentioned by Darío himself.
