Lorca is one of my most favorite poets…

I love his “Lament For Ignacio Sanchez” …

The 4th part of this poem is so very beautiful….

@Soossie it is a beautiful poem. So sad. I had never read it before.

@RuyLopez

Lorca was in love with Ignacio, the matador that this poem is about…

I’m so glad that you liked it…

@Soossie I read that he would not go to see him while he was dying. He could not bear it just as he mentions in the poem. I liked it very much. he tapped into my own past feelings of not wanting to face death. Thank you for sharing.
