Hour of Stars

by Federico Garcia Lorca tr. Catherine Brown

The round silence of night, one note on the stave of the infinite.

Ripe with lost poems, I step naked into the street. The blackness riddled by the singing of crickets: sound, that dead will-o'-the-wisp, that musical light perceived by the spirit.

A thousand butterfly skeletons sleep within my walls.

A wild crowd of young breezes over the river.

San Sebastian, Federico García Lorca, 1927

“Let us agree,” Federico Garcia Lorca wrote, “that one of man’s most beautiful postures is that of St. Sebastian.” “In my ‘Saint Sebastian’ I remember you,” Salvador Dali replied to Garcia Lorca, referring to the essay on aesthetics that Dali had just written, “. . . and sometimes I think he is you. Let’s see whether Saint Sebastian turns out to be you.”

The two men had a “tragic, passionate relationship,” Dali once wrote—a friendship pierced by the arrows of Saint Sebastian.

“I love this. Because it's a Truth: you can be utterly ordinary and unnoticeable by our cultural standards -- AND be teeming with Magic. It's one of the tricks of the Divine.

[Thanks Leila L'Abate]

"I want to sleep for a while, a moment, a minute, a century; but let everyone know that I am not dead."

Gacela of the Dark Death

by Federico García Lorca tr. Robert Bly

I want to sleep the sleep of the apples, I want to get far away from the busyness of the cemeteries. I want to sleep the sleep of that child who longed to cut his heart open far out at sea.

I don’t want them to tell me again how the corpse keeps all its blood, how the decaying mouth goes on begging for water. I’d rather not hear about the torture sessions the grass arranges for nor about how the moon does all its work before dawn with its snakelike nose.

I want to sleep for half a second, a second, a minute, a century, but I want everyone to know that I am still alive, that I have a golden manger inside my lips, that I am the little friend of the west wind, that I am the elephantine shadow of my own tears.

When it’s dawn just throw some sort of cloth over me because I know dawn will toss fistfuls of ants at me, and pour a little hard water over my shoes so that the scorpion claws of the dawn will slip off.

Because I want to sleep the sleep of the apples, and learn a mournful song that will clean all earth away from me, because I want to live with that shadowy child who longed to cut his heart open far out at sea.

18/19 year old Lorca confessing his homosexuality (1916)

Unfortunate I, that at times I have puerile vanity. Unfortunate I, that I have an unrealizable love that is death in my endless nights. Unfortunate I, that I will walk towards the end full of fears and stalkings of the flesh. Unfortunate I, than everywhere I find mouths that speak to me of my passions. Unfortunate I, that I know in which places I’ll rest. Unfortunate of unfortunates, that in my endless nights I dream of a love that is my own flesh and that I will never be able to reach...

If My Hands Could Desfoliate

Federico García Lorca

I pronounce your name

in the dark nights

when the stars come

to drink on the moon

And the branches sleep

From the hidden fronds.

and i feel hollow

Of passion and music.

crazy clock that sings

Dead ancient hours.

I pronounce your name

In this dark night

and your name rings a bell

Farther than ever.

Farther than all the stars

And more painful than the gentle rain.

Will I love you like then

Ever? what fault

Do you have my heart?

If the fog clears

What other passion awaits me?

Will it be calm and pure?

If my fingers could

Defoliate the moon!!
