Dead man Quote by Federico García Lorca

“But two has never been a number-- because it's only an anguish and its shadow, it's only a guitar where love feels how hopeless it is, it's the proof of someone else's infinity, and the walls around a dead man, and the scourging of a new resurrection that will never end.” quote by Federico García Lorca
