In Memory Of Federico García Lorca: (1898 - 1936)

Rating: 5.0


The poet's sad demise flows into me.
His voice is strange and distant, yet so soft.
It is like the echo of the sea by
A seaweed cliff. O he's gone forever!

Dominic I believe people never found his grave after his assassination by the hands of Nationalists. So I see your connection in your closing lines. A poem to make readers again think and think deeply just how lucky there are to have the freedom of expression not walled in by oppression and censorship. Five stars and Federico lives on through his opera's, poems, plays and paintings. Many thanks and take care.

Thanks Shaun. I'm very much a fan of Lorca's surreal poetry- truly ground - breaking for its time. Yes it was terrible what happened to him.
