My heart of silk is filled with lights,
with lost bells, with lilies and bees.
I will go very far,
farther than those hills, farther than the seas,
close to the stars,
to beg Christ the Lord
to give me back the soul I had
when I was a child,
ripened with legends,
with a feathered cap and a wooden sword.
-Federico GarcÃa Lorca
