Research: Wikipedia/Google (wild card searches: poets name Mary)/Poetry websites... etc. This time I Googled: "18th century poets first name beginning with m" and let the search lead me... Note my result is not an 18th century poet.

GG-I didn´t know that! The lyricals are not so different. But Gilberto gave them a subtle political twist. In 1979 censorship started to become lighter.

Frederico Garcia Lorca (one of my favorite poets and dramatists)

So tragic. Loved this: "The fig tree rubs its wind with the sandpaper of its branches, and the forest, cunning cat, bristles its brittle fibers." How many poets and artists and... have been sacrificed to political expediency; to ignorance.

LMD-I´m impressed with her story and her poem. Why was she so frail? And couldn´t they let her write in peace?
DH-Don´t know unfortunately.
HT-Interesting how each instrument becames "visible" in his piece.

LMD was thought to have had tuberculosis and/or a form of anorexia; both debilitating conditions. Brilliant beyond her years she must have been very fragile emotionally; her family not in tune with her at all. Re: TT the video is blocked in my country by SONY Corp.
