Federico Garc%C3%ADa Lorca/memorials

Famous quotes containing the words lorca and/or memorials:

    There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.
    —Federico GarcĂ­a Lorca (1898–1936)

    My titillations have no foot-notes
    And their memorials are the phrases
    Of idiosyncratic music.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
