Sat Oct 12 at I'll post here the original part you're missing, I hope it's of some help. Caballito negro. En la luna negra sangraba el costado de Sierra Morena. Perhaps Cordoba has some kind of special meaning if you know spanish customs? I found this poem by Lorca where he mentions the city.
In the poem he mentions Sevilla and Granada. I know that Sevilla is a famous place for bullfights, and Granada is a almost mythical romantic beautiful place with an old morish castle.
The girl with the pretty face is out picking olives. The wind, playboy of towers, grabs her around the waist. Four riders passed by on Andalusian ponies, with blue and green jackets and big, dark capes. Three young bullfighters passed, slender in the waist, with jackets the color of oranges and swords of ancient silver.
When the afternoon had turned dark brown, with scattered light, a young man passed by, wearing roses and myrtle of the moon. The girl with the pretty face keeps on picking olives with the grey arm of the wind wrapped around her waist. Tree, tree dry and green. I do not know why he was in there catalogue but anyway they had a good summary.
It is a tragedy that is both in some ways classical, but still modern in the way he makes the female characters. The tragedy that grows in the house of Bernarda Alba, and between the women that lives confind in it is almost horrifying to watch. His father owned a farm in the fertile vega surrounding Granada and a comfortable mansion in the heart of the city.
His mother, whom Lorca idolized, was a gifted pianist. His first book, Impresiones y Viajes was inspired by a trip to Castile with his art class in Giving up university, he devoted himself entirely to his art.
He organized theatrical performances, read his poems in public, and collected old folksongs. He also wrote Libro de poemas , a compilation of poems based on Spanish folklore. The deep song form permeated his poems of the early s. The poet's favorite neighborhood was Harlem; he loved African-American spirituals, which reminded him of Spain's "deep songs. The congress decided to build a "Barraca" in central Madrid in which to produce important plays for the public. Toward the end of July, he was arrested by Franquist soldiers.
They struck him with the butts of their rifles and riddled his body with bullets. About radgeek.

Lonely in the distance. Cancel this reply. By: Name:. He was never seen again and was undoubtedly executed shortly after his detention. Nationalists burned his books outlawing his plays and poetry for decades. In thinking about how to present the poem to 8 th graders with limited experience interpreting poetry, I formulated basic questions to break down the sentiments and images before trying to better understand how Lorca assembled them into the text of his poem.
The first lines open innocuously describing a long journey. The narrator never identifies himself giving the reader only four details: he is riding a small black horse at night on a familiar course and has olives in his saddlebag. Thus far, the journey seems pleasant enough, a leisurely ride on a long but well-lit road with food to sustain the trip.
The stanza ends on a dark note though: the rider will never arrive at his destination. The next stanza sets a very different tone. The moon is now red, a clear allusion to death. The setting is now much darker, reddish lighting on a road with winds that impede progress—especially for a small horse.
The trip will not be leisurely after all, but a struggle. Thus far the narrator has offered a dispassionate description. The third stanza introduces emotion.
The exclamations add a note of desperation and hopelessness. The purpose of the trip remains a mystery, but there is an air of inevitability with no thought of turning back. The poem ends with the same words with which it opened. The short repetitive lines came out of a musical tradition: the cante jondo, an old Andalusian form of song with roots dating back to the Phoenicians, modified by Greeks, Arabs, and gypsies.
Then it is a rare example of primitive song, the oldest of all Europe, where the ruins of history, the lyrical fragment eaten by the sand, appear live like the first morning of its life. The adoption of the Spanish church of the Lithurgic songs, the Saracen [Muslim] invasion, which for the third time brought to the Spanish Peninsula a new flood of African blood, and the arrival of many gypsy groups.
There is a timeless sense to the poem. The Romans later established the city a provincial capital renaming it Corduba. Additionally, in an impoverished 20 th century Andalusia, small horses or donkeys served as the most common form of transport.
Thus, the rider could have been one of several nationalities from different eras facing dangers endemic to his times. He may have been writing an allegory for a particularly difficult challenge he faced that seemed insurmountable. As a prominent artist with far-left views and, he was a likely target of nationalist forces.
