And I've found that giving voice to my burning desire has gained me much and has also probably cost me more, but at least I didn't punish myself.

I wish you'd been able to note in your brief mention of Lorca that he was murdered by Fascist thugs in 1936. And that there is an opera (Ainamadar, by Osvaldo Golijov) based on this incident. Still, it was nice to hear about his commemoration by a very different Spanish government.
