Although Heredia's poetry is classic in form, it is imbued with romantic melancholy and joy in nature. His subjectiveness and passionate nature appear in his two best-known poems, "On the Teocalli of Cholula" (written 1820) and "Niagara" (written 1824). Exiled from Cuba as a revolutionary (1823), he spent two years in New York City, where he published his poems, and spent the rest of his life in Mexico.
