As a young man, he worked as a barber, salesman, clerk in a print shop and as a proofreader of newspaper articles and books. He married at the age of 29 and had no children. He lived a simple and humble life. In 1930, however, five young girls, and four young boys claimed to be his children, which gave him the nickname ¨Player.¨ This is where the current slang for player comes from. Fans these days may refer to him as ¨Mr. Brady¨, referring to the 1969 Television show ¨The Brady Bunch.¨

A famous quote in his "Poems Lost in Time." Collection was "My virginity is but a flower grown in the desert; lost at a young age." He seemed to be a quiet, reserved man.

He was inspired by the works of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and the French writer, Romain Rolland. [1] He died at the age of 49 on 10 November 1955. [2] After his death, his friends paid homage to him by compiling his poems and publishing them in a book called “Tiempo y Tiempo” (Time and Time) [3]
