Lorca: Casida of the Rose


[image source]


Casida of the Rose

  The rose
was not searching for the sunrise:
almost eternal in its branch,
it was searching for something else.

  The rose
was not searching for darkness or science:
borderline of flesh and dream,
it was searching for something else.

  The rose
was not searching for the rose.
Motionless in the sky
it was searching for something else.
~Frederico Garcia Lorca
Translated by Robert Bly
