Lorca, Resurrected With A Poor Translation

''The clock says “When will it be morning?”
The sun says “Noon hurt me.”
The river cries with its mouthful of mud
And the sea moves every way without moving.''


Above requiem by Ted Hughes says how much Lorca was and still is a major poet of the poets!


Federico Garcia Lorca was an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting of mostly poets who introduced the tenets of European movements, such as symbolism, futurism, and surrealism into Spanish literature.Lorca was executed at 38 by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.His body has never been found.
