Here it´s a little part of Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías.
1. Cogida and death
At five in the afternoon.
It was exactly five in the afternoon.
A boy brought the white sheet
at five in the afternoon.
A frail of lime ready prepared
at five in the afternoon.
The rest was death, and death alone.
And here it´s all the poem.
Now the questions:
1-What happened in 1929?
2-Did you hear something about Federico before?
3-Can you tell me another poem of Federico?
4-When published his first book?

Hi Andrea! Hi class!
ReplyDeleteA great post, congratulations! Federico García Lorca was an incredible writer and the poems I've read are nice. It's quite interesting!
1| In the year 1929, he went to New York and he wrote his book "Poet in New York"
2| Yes, of course! I met him because of Andalusian day. At least in my school, we studied a lot of Andalusian poets as Rafael Alberti and García Lorca, so, of course, I met him before. As Antonio said, I knew that he was kill because he was gay, and that he died shot.
3| One of his poems is "The Fable And Round Of The Three Friends". It says something like that:
Then I realized I had been murdered. They looked for me in cafes, cemeteries and churches... but they didn't find me. They never found me? No. They never found me.
4| His first book, "Impresiones y Paisajes" was published in 1918.

3. One of his poems is ''It's true''.. It says: Ay, the pain it costs me to love you as I love you! For love of you, the air, it hurts and my heart, and my hat, they hurt me. Who would buy it from me, this ribbon I am holding, and this sadness of cotton, white, for making handkerchiefs with? Ay, the pain it costs me to love you as I love you!
