"Duende"

"All over Andalusia the people speak constantly of Duende and identify it accurately and instinctively whenever it appears. This mysterious power which everyone senses and no philosopher explains is, in sum, the spirit of the earth."
- Garcia Lorca

"Duende is silent, near-by, a pregnant, and overwhelming power... It is death, life and fate... the consummation of risk and knowledge. Made visible it is huge, potent, patient, but less tolerant than anything the human will can grasp. Duende is a sweet bliss that will infiltrate the bloodstream like toxin."
- Simone

"I have raised three arches and with a clumsy hand have placed in them the muse, the angel and the duende. Through these empty arches enters a wind of the mind, which blows over the heads of the dead insistently, searching for new landscapes, accents we never knew.
- Garcia Lorca
