Abstrakt: The author reflects on the chronology of the major milestone history of the poem "Espejo de paciencia" in relation to the Cuban literature. He primarily examines the three lives of the poem from writers Silvestre de Balboa, José Antonio Echeverría and Alejo Carpentier. He assesses the poem's application as 17th-century Braoque epic, as 19th century Romantic emblem of a people struggling for nationhood and as 20th-century vindication of a nation's ethnic and racial diversity.
