Today is the birthday of the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. At the ripe old age of thirty he published his book of poems The Gypsy Ballads and as a result became Spain's most popular living poet. He famously said: To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves. My personal thanks to Senor Lorca. I just knew there was a good reason for not containing myself.
