Federico García Lorca quotes - page 2
Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches.
Federico García Lorca
With their souls of patent leather, they come down the road. Hunched and nocturnal, where they breathe they impose, silence of dark rubber, and fear of fine sand.
Federico García Lorca
You have always been smart. You have always looked for the worst in people, and have been quick to notice when people are up to no good... But in the case of your children, you are blind.
Federico García Lorca
The still pool of air under the branch of echo.The still pool of water under a frond of stars.The still pool of your mouth under a thicket of kisses.
Federico García Lorca
I know there is no straight road No straight road in this world Only a giant labyrinth Of intersecting crossroads.
Federico García Lorca
I am the immense shadow of my tears.
Federico García Lorca
If blue is dream what then innocence? What awaits the heart if Love bears no arrows?
Federico García Lorca
The night below. We two. Crystal of pain. You wept over great distances. My ache was a clutch of agonies over your sickly heart of sand.
Federico García Lorca
The bull does not know you, nor the fig tree, nor the horses, nor the ants in your own house. The child and the afternoon do not know you because you have died forever.The shoulder of the stone does not know you nor the black silk on which you are crumbling. Your silent memory does not know you because you have died forever.The autumn will come with conches, misty grapes and clustered hills, but no one will look into your eyes because you have died forever.Because you have died for ever, like all the dead of the earth, like all the dead who are forgotten in a heap of lifeless dogs.Nobody knows you. No. But I sing of you. For posterity I sing of your profile and grace. Of the signal maturity of your understanding. Of your appetite for death and the taste of its mouth. Of the sadness of your once valiant gaiety.
Federico García Lorca
I will not see it!Tell the moon to come, for I do not want to see the blood of Ignacio on the sand.I will not see it!
Federico García Lorca
But now he sleeps endlessly. Now the moss and the grass open with sure fingers the flower of his skull. And now his blood comes out singing; singing along marshes and meadows, slides on frozen horns, faltering souls in the mist stumbling over a thousand hoofs like a long, dark, sad tongue, to form a pool of agony close to the starry Guadalquivir. Oh, white wall of Spain! Oh, black bull of sorrow! Oh, hard blood of Ignacio! Oh, nightingale of his veins!
Federico García Lorca
Don't look at me any more! If you want, I'll give you my eyes - which are still fresh - and my back so you can fix that hump of yours.
Federico García Lorca
The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known. Humanity cannot imagine the joy that will burst into the world.
Federico García Lorca
A poet must be a professor of the five senses and must open doors among them.
Federico García Lorca
Verde que te quiero verde. Verde viento. Verde ramas. Green I love you green. Green Wind. Green branches.
Federico García Lorca
Those hundred lovers are asleep forever beneath the dry earth. Andalusia has long, red-colored roads. Córdoba, green olive trees for placing a hundred crosses to remember them. Those hundred lovers are asleep forever.
Federico García Lorca
I can't listen to you. I can't listen to your voice. It's as though I'd drunk a bottle of anise and fallen asleep wrapped in a quilt of roses. It pulls me along – and I know I'm drowning – but I go on down.
Federico García Lorca
Don't ask me any questions. I've seen how things that seek their way find their void instead.
Federico García Lorca
