Lorca: Love Poem

 

 

 

IT’S TRUE

"Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you!

For love of you, the air, it hurts,
and my heart,
and my hat, they hurt me.

Who would buy it from me,
this ribbon I am holding,
and this sadness of cotton, 
white, for making handkerchiefs with?

Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you!"

—Federico García Lorca

While watching “Call the Midwife” episode 2 of Season 6, Lorca's poem was quoted.

Call the Midwife is beautifully written If you haven't seen it add it to your list.

    We’ve seen every episode of “Call The Midwife” at least twice, and recommend the series highly, especially for its nuanced look at a range of health and social issues. Plus, it’s downright enjoyable entertainment!
