is that Storni saw Quiroga as a friend who understood her, and she dedicated a poem to him when he committed suicide in 1937, only a year before her own death. Illness and death In 1935, Storni may have discovered a lump on her left breast and decided to undergo an operation. On May 20, 1935, she underwent a radical mastectomy. In 1938 she found out that the breast cancer had reappeared. Around 1:00 AM on Tuesday, 25 October 1938, Storni left her room and headed towards the sea at La Perla beach in Mar del Plata, Argentina and committed suicide. Later that morning two workers found her body washed up on the beach. Although her biographers hold that she jumped into the water from a breakwater, popular legend is that she slowly walked into the sea until she drowned. She is buried in La Chacarita Cemetery. Her death inspired Ariel Ramírez and Félix Luna to compose the song "Alfonsina y el Mar" ("Alfonsina and the Sea"). Argentine composer Julia Stilman-Lasansky used Storni’s text for her composition Cuadrados y Angulos.. In 2009 Juan María Solare composed a cycle of songs with texts by Alfonsina Storni: Viejas palabras (which consists of the songs Viaje, El sueño, Cuadrados y ángulos and ¿Qué diría la gente? plus three short piano interludes in between the songs).
