More About Collected Poems
Sonnet of the Sweet Complaint"Never let me lose the marvelof your statue-like eyes, or the accentthe solitary rose of your breathplaces on my cheek at night.I afraid of being, on this shorea branchless trunk, and what I most regretis having no flower, pulp, or clayfor the worm of my despair.If you are my hidden treasure,if you are my gross, my dampened pain,if I am a dog, and you alone my master.Never let me lose what I have gained,and adorn the branches of your riverwith leaves of my estranged Autumn. Federico Garca Lorca, Collected Poems Paint me a heaven of love with your bloodied mouth. Federico Garca Lorca, Collected Poems Yo me salgo desnudo a la calle,maduro de versos perdidos.I step naked into the streetripe with lost poems. Federico Garca Lorca, Collected Poems
I think this book will be on my "currently reading" shelf forever - similar to the way some people keep a Bible on their nightstand... I love picking this up - and having the Spain of the 1920s & 30s wash over me... "Dry Land, quiet land of immense nights ... (Wind in the olive grove, wind in the sierra.)....." sigh... If you are going to get a book of Lorca's poetry, this is the absolute best you can get. It's a bilingual edition and it contains pretty much everything other than his plays. I wish I had been around to see him speak and perform his poetry. Spanish deep songs, gypsy lore, laments, mad love, scandal, revolutions. What's not to adore? If you know that Lorca's body was riddled with bullets and beaten with rifle butts in a cemetery and that still today no one knows where his body rests, his poetry will take on the specter of a ghost who still has things to say.
