PAZ seen the reality of life, vs. - the magazine Images of love. Really a regression to the womb, kiddie porn, illusions post adolesence love, taking the place of reality. |

I don't think he is actually talking about women, it's a metaphor to poetry, not women, that's the point of talking about the Women as clichés, that a literary term. Octavio Paz was a poet of poetry, and most of his poems point at poetry itself. |

FOR MR. MARIANI: The poem is a result of the persona's realization of the utter superficiality of 'cliches' in magazines. He establishes in the first stanza that he is indeed looking at a magazine. However, he seems to have not enjoyed as he realized how shallow these 'cliches' are, how they degrade the worth of women. And thus he resolved: 'from now on I won't put my head down on a magzine'. I don't see any problem with the ending. The persona was consistent. |
