The brothers Federico García Lorca (the poet) and Francisco García Lorca in the house on the sidewalk of Casino number 31, Granada, where they settled in 1917.‘Sonnet of Sweet Complaint“Never let me lose the marvelof your statue-like eyes, or the accentthe solitary rose of your breathplaces on my cheek at night.I am afraid of being, on this shorea branchless trunk, and what I most regretis having no flower, pulp, or clayfor the worm of my despair.If you are my hidden treasure,if you are my cross, my dampened pain,if I am a dog, and you alone my master,never let me lose what I have gainedand adorn the branches of your riverwith leaves of my estranged Autumn.”Lorca dedicated this to his lover, Juan Ramírez de Lucas, and some claim that this sonnet was the last that Lorca ever wrote. He was executed by fascists in 1936 at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. -- source link
