1. El cisne es una imagen recurrent en la poesía modernista, ya que suele representar la elegancia y la hermosura.  En "Walking around", ¿qué imágen representa el cisne de filetro?

Explanation

The swan in "Walking around" represents a poet who is tired of living in a fast-paced and artificial world that kills the spirit. This interpretation is supported by the description of the swan as "tired of navigating the canals" and "surrounded by lilies," which symbolize beauty and purity. The poet, like the swan, is weary and disillusioned with the superficiality and emptiness of modern life. The image of the swan serves as a metaphor for the poet's longing for a more authentic and meaningful existence.
