"Remansos: Variación" Federico Garcia Lorca
I was never much of a fan for poetry, though i seem to write an awful lot, when i fall in love or got my heart broken:))lol.. and make a sense that i can never taking credit for listing famous poets or their work whatsoever, as i would have in my expertise in a field that my dad called as ‘a divine crap’; remembering almost every lines from the TV show,Friends.
So when i found this particular part of poem, it was–off course from a movie–In The Cut, its written in a wall of a subway, read by the character portrays by Meg Ryan, and it was really beautiful in some sort of way. so i started to look for the complete part for this poem on the internet, also try to look up who is this Garcia Lorca guy is. i haven’t heard of him before. turns out to be one of the greatest latin poet, and artist, includes many of plays, poem, etc, and later i found that his other works too, are great.
The still waters of the water
under a frond of stars.
The still waters of your mouth
under a thicket of kisses.
ok so that was before i knew that he killed himself. whoa.. there’s always an ick factor to these artists, most of them are the greatest for their field, yet killed themselves. what is it with their stressful-the-whole-world-suffering? i just don’t get it..
and add to that details, he was gay. yea. that stanza i like? it talks about someone lips, wet, and kisses and all. i can’t stop myself to picture man-to-man kiss.. hahahahaha.. Lord have mercy, i lost my appetite.
i even got goosebumps.
El remanso de aire
bajo la rama del eco.
El remanso del agua
bajo fronda de luceros.
El remanso de tu boca
bajo espesura de besos.
The still waters of the air
under the bough of the echo.
The still waters of the water
under a frond of stars.
The still waters of your mouth
under a thicket of kisses.
