Lost Federico García Lorca verse discovered 93 years after it was written Eight-line poem found on the back of a manuscript sheds light on Spanish poet’s preoccupation with time

The clock sings / I count the hours mechanically / Seven o’clock; twelve o’clock / It’s all the same / I am not here / It is the mark of flesh / That I left behind when I departed / So as to know my place / Upon my return.
