  12. 🧵 2/2

    ...Federico García Lorca.

    Yes! Lyric poetry by a writer who already interested me seemed exactly right. Even though my Spanish is rudimentary, with the help of a dual language edition I would be able to make sense of his verse.

    I hurried to the library and and checked out his "Selected Verse - Revised Bilingual Edition" edited by Christoper Maurer.

    Later in the afternoon, I sat in Starbucks with the Lorca in my bag and the Rorty in my lap. As I turned the pages of the latter, I came across this passage:

    >> The secret in the poet's heart remains unknown to the secret police, despite their ability to predict his every
    thought, utterance, and movement... We can know which thoughts pass through a man's mind without understanding them. Our inviolable uniqueness lies in our poetic ability to say unique and obscure things, not in our ability to say obvious things to ourselves alone. << (123)

    If you know how Lorca met his end, can you deny that the gods were guiding me to his poetry?
