Lorca

Famous quotes containing the word lorca:

    There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    With their souls of patent leather,
    they come down the road.
    Hunched and nocturnal,
    Where they breathe they impose,
    silence of dark rubber,
    and fear of fine sand.
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    New York is something awful, something monstrous. I like to walk the streets, lost, but I recognize that New York is the world’s greatest lie. New York is Senegal with machines.
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
