" "Well, [Lorca had] a gift for gab. For example, he makes striking metaphors, but I think he makes striking metaphors for him, because I think that his world was mostly verbal. I think that he was fond of playing words against each other, the contrast of words, but I wonder if he knew what he was doing.

أن تحملق فى النهر الذى يصنعه الزمن والماء
وأن تتذكر أن الزمن ذاته نهر آخر
أن تعرف أننا نكف عن الوجود، تماما مثل النهر
وأن وجوهنا تموت وترحل، تماما مثل الماء
أن تُحسّ بأن الاستيقاظ نوم آخر
يحلم بأنه لا ينام وبأن الموت
الذى يرتعد منه لحمنا، هو نفسه ذلك الموت
الذى يحدث كل ليلة، والذى نسميه النوم
أن ترى فى اليوم أو فى السنة رمزا
لأيام البشرية وسنينها
أن تُحوّل إهانة السنين
إلى موسيقى، وحفيف، ورمز
