The works of Federico García Lorca, Spain’s most renowned 20th-century poet and dramatist, focus on the themes of death and fate in the lives of rural people and Roma (Gypsies). Lorca infused many of his poems and tragic plays with violent passions and delicate descriptions of nature. These lines from “Gacela of the Dark Death,” translated by Stephen Spender and J. L. Gili and recited by an actor, exemplify the interrelationship of dreams and reality in Lorca’s poetry.
