2. "Mais quelle étrange leçon de géographie je reçus là! Guillaumet ne m'enseignait pas l'Espagne; il me faisait de l'Espagne une amie. Il ne me parlait ni d'hydrographie, nie de populations, ni de cheptel. Il ne me parlait pas de Guadix, mais des trois orangers qui, près de Guadix, bordent un champ : " Méfie-toi d'eux, marque-les sur ta carte... " Et les trois orangers y tenaient désormais plus de place que la Sierra Nevada. Il ne me parlait pas de Lorca, mais d'une simple ferme près de Lorca. D'une ferme vivante. Et de son fermier. Et de sa fermière. Et ce couple prenait, perdu dans l'espace, à quinze cents kilomètres de nous, une importance démesurée. Bien installés sur le versant de leur montagne, pareils à des gardiens de phare, ils étaient prêts, sous leur étoiles, à porter secours à des hommes.(Terre des Hommes, ch. I)"

He did something he hadn't allowed himself since his daddy had passed. He cried—for his loss, for what could have been... but mostly, he cried in shame."

Federico Garcia Lorca, ki je bil ocaran nad Hitlerjevimi brki, je pozneje izjavil, da "so brki tragicna konstanta moškega obraza". Celo z brki sem nameraval preseci Nietzscheja! Moji že ne bodo zamorjeni, katastroficni, obteženi z wagnerjansko glasbo in meglo. Ne! Moji bodo zašiljeni, imperialisticni, ultraracianalisticni in usmerjeni k nebu, kot vertikalni misticizem, kot španski vertikalni sindikati."

"Appreciate it."
