El Libro de la erudición poética (1611), de Luis Carrillo y Sotomayor, es el texto que mejor describe los principios del culteranismo. Según Carrillo, los lectores cultos y minuciosos deberían interpretar, con extrema paciencia, las referencias y metáforas del texto en una y otra lectura. Cabe añadir que no se trataba de "oscurecer" la literatura, sino que se suponía que ésta era "oscura" debido a su profundidad.

I floated to the West
I floated through the water
Through the air and the land
Then I became the raindrops in the sand
I floated in the night
Weightless. No effort was made by me
And all the stars were smiling
In the morning I arrived
From the Middle Kingdom far away
I floated
I floated to the West
That's what they say
