    El propósito de este esbozo es señalar que el origen y la inspiración de los nocturnos modernistas fueron eminentemente románticos. Aunque la poética de la noche surgió durante el Renacimiento español, no tuvo la fuerza que le dieron los primeros románticos. Para los románticos alemanes el sentimiento, la creación poética y el sueño fueron las vías por las que pensaban acceder al todo, un absoluto metafísico capaz de experimentarse mediante los sentidos y la intuición.

    The purpose of this outline is to show that the origin and inspiration of the Modernist nocturnes were eminently Romantic. Although the poetics of night arose during the Spanish Renaissance, it did not have the force which the first Romantics gave to it. For the German Romantics, sentiment, poetic creation and dream were the paths which they thought to lead to totality, a metaphysical absolute open to be experienced through senses and intuition.Little more than a century later, the Romantic poetics of night would be developed in a different way among the Modernists, that is to say, the night would be a stage and a time: a time for reflection, for examination of consciousness and poetic creation.If the theme of night in Modernist poetry was inspired by Novalis, the generic naming of these poems ("nocturnes") is due to Chopin.
