Just checked out my MIchelin 'Spain' and the quote I use
in the poem was said by Boabdil, the last Emir of GRanada, 's
mother to him as they took their last look at Granada on
being ejection. The spot on the road where she said it
is called 'The Moor's Sigh'. Perhaps I should have put
the quote in italics. Too late now. But I did use it for
the title of the Lorca poem. (There is a Bruce Springsteen
quote hidden there as well. . I was listening to his 3-CD
live set as I wrote it).
