Comparison between the lives of Antonio Machado and Federico García Lorca is inevitable and not just because they are the two major Spanish poets of the twentieth century. They had met, and admired each other’s work. Both were victims of the Civil War.

... and this morning I wrote the final words of the novel I've always called Small Damages, save for that two-year period when I knew it as The Last Threads of Saffron.
These words as prologue:
Through the empty arch comes a wind, a mental wind blowing relentlessly over the heads of the dead, in search of new landscapes and unknown accents; a wind that smells of baby’s spittle, crushed grass, and jellyfish veil, announcing the constant baptism of newly created things.
— Federico Garcia Lorca

And now, new landscapes for this long labor of your love, this "newly created thing" that has been so long in the borning...

It's like nourishing a child, raising and guiding their path; until suddenly you realize they have been flying on their own for some time. You stand back in awe and wonder at this thing.
