Like Garcilaso, Fray Luis de León's enduring fame rests on a handful of lyric poems, all of impeccable style and beauty. A master of the lira form, which he used in some of his best poems, "Vida retirada," "A Francisco Salinas," "Noche serena", etc., which are monuments to precision, tecnical perfection and depth of meaning. Idea and form, humanism and religion, appreciation of beaty and austerity of moral conception in him are completely blended. Hence the widely accepted view of Fray Luis as the incarnation of maximum harmony of the late Spanish Renaissance.
