Brian's Rick Steves' Tour of Spain Scrapbook
From Gacela of the Dark Death by Federico GarcÃa Lorca
translated by Robert Bly
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.
Federico GarcÃa Lorca In Plaza Santa Ana - Madrid
