“Every man - every artist - climbs the stairway, in the tower of his perfection by fighting his duende…The true struggle is with duende…But there are neither maps nor discipline to help us find duende. We only know that he burns the blood like a poultice of broken glass, that he exhausts, that he rejects all the sweet geometry we have learned, that he smashes styles, that he leans on human pain with no consolation…With idea, sound or gesture, the duende enjoys fighting the creator on the very rim of the well…”
Federico Garcia Lorca, Play and Theory of Duende

Shadows in the dancing lamplight flicker Dawns silken sublime sister Come inside my robe Golden empires holy slaughter Bleeding hand of the prophets daughter Leave me to the soft arms of the night Saints have found a better way So the tattoed angels say Oh come inside my long dark robe Farewell my sun crowned hoping bride And down he fell upon her dusky thigh Closed within the soft arms of the night
