A very, very long journey, but we brought it home. A beautiful result. The paperbacks are particularly elegant; inspect them in Cecil Court, next time you are by.

Polia and her suh-suh-summertime sadness.

First in the new series of translations from Lorca.

Guadalquivir
whose beard flows with garnets
Granada’s two rivers
tears and blood.

Translation of Lorca's 1929 Surrealist screenplay, 'A Journey to the Moon'.

Very much a work in progress, but I think I've more or less conveyed the mood.

there will be shoulders pressing in the hall
and I won't know if you're here at all

Staring the New Year as I wish to continue, here's my translation of Lorca's famous lecture, 'Juego y Teoria del Duende'.

Xmas reading. 'Boys in Zinc' and 'Chernobyl Prayer' to follow.

In the Soviet Union, the boughs of holly deck you.

Lorca as 'the Shadow' during a performance of Calderón's 'La vida es sueño' (1932).

¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí.
¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión,
una sombra, una ficción,
y el mayor bien es pequeño.
¡Que toda la vida es sueño,
y los sueños, sueños son!

But swift Thetis' son
overtook him in his flight
and punched him in the dick
bro, punched him hard in the dick
and Darkness closed his eyes.
