It] is nothing less than a name for the aesthetic moment itself, a new sign for the old bridge between art and life. Like aesthetic experience, it pitches consciousness between sense and reason. Hardly a threat to literature’s intelligence, it gives the literary mind new links to life. (Literary Impressionism and Modernist Aesthetics, 13) These passages of Imagens do México describe scenes following individual subjective experience, fusing thought and perception by imbedding the recollection of the latter with a reflection on artistic creation as an act of communion between humans and the world.
Reyes’s “México en una Nuez” is a proud and reassuring defense of the Mexican Revolution, when so-called excesses of the revolution, especially in terms of land reform and laicization, were seen with suspicion by other governments in Latin America: Some have pitied us with certain commiseration.

Neither the avant-garde nor other modernisms are necessarily progressive or conservative. In T. S. Eliot they were elitist and traditionalist; in Marinetti, iconoclastic and belligerently authoritarian; in Ezra Pound, fascist and normative; in Brecht, socialist and conceived as combative rhetoric; in Breton, a libertarian fusion of Freud and Marx; in Lorca, republican and full of passion for popular culture; in Borges, liberal and cosmopolitan.
