Never let me lose the marvel of your statue-like eyes, or the accent the solitary rose of your breath places on my cheek at night. i am afraid of being, on this shore, a branchless trunk, and what i most regret is having no flower, pulp, or clay for the worm of my despair. if you are my hidden treasure, if you are my cross, my dampened pain, if i am a dog, and you alone my master, never let me lose what i have gained, and adorn the branches of your river with leaves of my estranged autumn.

More From Federico Garcia Lorca

I'm afraid to be on this shore a trunk without limbs, and what i most regret is not to have flower, pulp, or clay for the worm of my suffering.

The forest stretched on seemingly forever with the most monotonous predictability, each tree just like the next - trunk, branches, leaves; trunk, branches, leaves. of course a tree would have taken a different view of the matter. we all tend to see the way others are alike and how we differ, and it's probably just as well we do, since that prevents a great deal of confusion. but perhaps we should remind ourselves from time to time that ours is a very partial view, and that the world is full of a great deal more variety than we ever manage to take in.

If a dog is biting a black man, the black man should kill the dog, whether the dog is a police dog or a hound dog or any kind of dog. if a dog is fixed on a black man when that black man is doing nothing but trying to take advantage of what the government says is supposed to be his, then that black man should kill that dog or any two-legged dog who sets the dog on him.

In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is excellence of virtue; in the cross is perfection of holiness. there is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.
Jesus Perfection Joy
We ask the leaf, "are you complete in yourself?" and the leaf answers, "no, my life is in the branches." we ask the branch, and the branch answers, "no my life is in the root." we ask the root, and it answers, "no my life is in the trunk and the branches and the leaves. keep the branches stripped of leaves, and i shall die," so it is with the great tree of being. nothing is completely and merely individual.

To lose a brother is to lose someone with whom you can share the experience of growing old, who is supposed to bring you a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews, creatures who people the tree of your life and give it new branches. to lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches. to lose your mother, well, that is like losing the sun above you. it is like losing--i'm sorry, i would rather not go on.

Every day before supper and before we went to services on sundays. my grandmother would read the bible to me, and my grandfather would pray. we even had devotions before going to pick cotton in the fields. prayer and the bible, became a part of my everyday thoughts and beliefs. i learned to put my trust in god and to seek him as my strength.

I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.
Mother Believe People
The answer is simple, and harsh. the market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidize it. so the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system.
