This article discussed the defining trait of the forgotten Generation of the 38: transforming reality by words. In this multifaceted group of writers, Eduardo Anguita appears as one of those who took that intent furthest, first through his "David Manifest" and then in 25 years of literary creation (poetry and essays). His "cognitive" poetry put forth what few poets of the Spanish-American vanguard had done: an answer (often practical) to the great metaphysical questions, and in particular, to an essential problem: that of time. Eduardo Anguita, it is said in this essay, went much farther than Rimbaud in his attempt to write poetry "functional" to the truth and life.
