I'm hurt, hurt and
humiliated beyond endurance, seeing
the wheat ripening, the fountains
never ceasing to give water, the sheep
bearing hundreds of lambs, the
she-dogs, until it seems the whole
country rises to show me its tender
sleeping young while I feel two
hammer-blows here instead of the mouth
of my child...

Lorca (1898-1936), Spanish poet,
playwright.
