He died shortly afterwards on 22 February 1939 to be followed by his mother 3 days later. He was one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98 and has left a number of important poems. He is also remembered for coining the expression "the two Spains" referring to the political divisions of the Civil War.
