Lorca (wasReductionism)

[jporter]

Juan:

>Ginsberg's poem is also one of my favorites, as is Lorca's Romance
>Sonámbulo (Somnambulist Romance).  It begins (and ends):
>
>     Verde que te quiero verde.           Green that I love you green.
>     Verde viento.  Verde ramas.          Wind green.  Branches green.
>     El barco sobre la mar                The boat on the sea
>     y el caballo en la montaña.          and the horse on the mountain.
>
>(if you excuse my butchering the translation).  It sings the story of a
>man who has been fatally wounded in a fight and wants to die peacefully
>with a girl he remembers
>
>     verde carne, pelo verde,             flesh green, green hair,
>     con ojos de fría plata.              with eyes of cold silver.
>

That's wonderful, Juan. Thank you very much. If you or anyone else knows of
a Spanish/English side by side book of Lorca's verse, I would be very
appreciative.

Thanks,
