No one knew you tormented a hummingbird of love between your teeth." You love Lorca's poetry, right? [AB-1] Destiny plays some strange games. I was in Madrid and I didn't want to leave because of a foreboding. _______________ American Buddha Librarian's Comment: [AB-1] kirjasto.sci.fi.com wrote: Among García Lorca's best-known plays is Blood Wedding (1933), a story of a bride who runs away with a previous lover, and is subsequently murdered by her husband ... The love triangle, blending drama and poetry, closely resembled a classical Greek tragedy, in which death hovers over the whole play ... After the death of his friend, a bullfighter, García Lorca wrote Lament for the Death of a Bullfighter (1935) ... "Now Ignacio the well born lies on the stone. / All is finished. What is happening? Contemplate his face: / death has covered him with pale sulphur / and has placed on him the head of a dark minotaur." [Dali wrote about Lorca:] "The poetic phenomenon in its entirety and 'in the raw' presented itself before me suddenly in flesh and bone, confused, blood-red, viscous and sublime, quivering with a thousand fires of darkness and of subterranean biology" ... Lorca's friendship with Dalí inspired a poem, a defense of modern art and at the same time an expression of homosexual love ... García Lorca's central themes are love, pride, passion and violent death. |
