Crescent moon

The moon travels over the water
How peaceful the sky is!
It slowly erases
the reflections of the old river
and a small branch
in his hand he takes it as a mirror.

Lorca #BookWormSat #SpanishLit

The sea has no oranges,
Sevilla has no love.
Dark-haired girl, what fiery light.
Lend me your parasol.

It will give me green cheeks
- juice of lime and lemon -
Your words– little fishes–
will swim all around us.

The sea has no oranges.
Ay, love.
Sevilla has no love!

“Like a snake, my heart
has shed its skin.
I hold it here in my hand,
full of honey and wounds.”

“The weeping of the guitar
begins.
…
It weep’s monotonously
as water weeps
as wind weeps
over snowfields.
…
It weeps for distant
things.
Hot southern sands
yearning for white camellias.”

📚Federico Garcia Lorca, The Guitar
🖼️ Pablo Picasso, The Guitar

"What do you think of the graphics updates?"

"The new windmills? They look like wooly caterpillars."

"What! I like them!"

"I suppose if I look with my reading glasses, they... have a certain je ne sais quixote."

“Now look, your grace”, said Sancho, “what you see over there aren’t giants, but windmills..”
