Great poetry!

1928... Before the Civil War.

Yes, and the firing squad... So tragic to think that Lorca was not even a particularly active Republican supporter, but probably just had the wrong sexual orientation at the wrong time. Well, that whole part of history is heartbreakingly tragic anyway.

That is beautiful.

It is, isn't it? Too bad I never could manage a translation that mimicked the rhythm of the original.
