El rayo que no cesa is a collection of poems by the Spanish poet Miguel Hernández, first published in 1936. This work, belonging to the Austral Collection, stands out for its emotional intensity and its exploration of themes such as love, death, and pain. Hernández's poetry, rooted in the Spanish lyrical tradition, is characterized by its direct language and its deep connection with nature and the human being.
Miguel Hernández Gilabert was a 20th-century Spanish-language poet and playwright associated with the Generation of '27 and the Generation of '36 movements. Born and raised in a family of low resources, he was self-taught in what refers to literature, and struggled against an unfavourable environment to build up his intellectual education, such as a father who physically abused him for spending time with books instead of working, and who took him out of school as soon as he finished his primary education. At school, he became a friend of Ramón Sijé, a well-educated boy who lent and recommended books to Hernández, and whose death would inspire his most famous poem, Elegy.
