Salvador Díaz Mirón (December 14, 1853 June 12, 1928) was a Mexican poet. He was born in the port city of Veracruz. His early verse, written in a passionate, romantic style, was influenced by Lord Byron and Victor Hugo. His later verse was more classical in mode. His poem, A Gloria, was influential. His 1901 volume Lascas ("Chips from a Stone") established Mirón as a precursor of modernismo.[1] After a long period of exile, he returned to Mexico and died in Veracruz on June 12, 1928.
