FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA


Federico Garcia Lorca was a man of words, many words. Yet, he chose them carefully; in portraying his heartfelt love for a man who could and did betray his own heart.

Love blossoms in the naked air, dancing.........evolving- Maria Elena

I wish to share with you some of Federico Garcia Lorca's most beautiful and entwining quotes:

"To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves"


"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."

"The Poem, the song, the picture, is only water drawn from the well of the people, and it should be given back to them in a cup of beauty so that they may drink-and in drinking understand themselves"

"The duende is a force not a labour, a struggle not a thought. i heard an old maestro of the guitar say: "The duende is not in the throat: the duende surges up, inside, from the soles of thee feet." Meaning, it's not a question of skill, but of a style that's truly alive: meaning, it's in the veins: meaning, it's of the most ancient culture of immediate creation."


Federico Garcia Lorca; a young, handsome, poet, who was sadly murdered in cold-blood. 

Never fearing his inevitable end!
