Summary "Buntong Hininga" by Pascual de Leon is a collection of Tagalog poems written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of love, longing, suffering, and the beauty of nature, often reflecting the emotional struggles of the speaker. The poems present a deep connection to the Filipino cultural context, emphasizing the significance of poetry as an expression of one's feelings and identity. At the start of "Buntong Hininga," the reader is introduced to a speaker who contemplates the changes in their emotions and the world around them, expressing feelings of sorrow and confusion. The opening stanzas set a melancholic tone, where the speaker reflects on lost joy and the struggles of existence. The speaker's yearning for understanding amidst their suffering becomes evident, establishing an emotional landscape that resonates with themes of heartache and hope. This initial glimpse provides a foundation for the rich tapestry of emotions that unfold throughout the collection, inviting readers to engage with the deep sentiments expressed in the poems.
