The poem "Margarita" by Nobel Prize-winning author Rub?n Dar?o tells an enchanting story. The narrator, addressing Margarita, celebrates the sea's beauty and likens it to her charm. The tale is about a king with a beautiful, whimsical princess who sees a star and decides to bring it down to earth for a brooch. She journeys across the sea and sky to retrieve it, despite potential mischief. Upon returning, the king questions her, and she explains her quest. Jesus Christ then appears, affirming the star symbolizes children's dreams. The story ends with the princess keeping her cherished star, and the narrator urging Margarita to stay true to gentle thoughts as she ventures far from home.
