Ladies
and Gentlemen,
Between
1918 when I entered the Residencia
de Estudiantes in
Madrid, and 1928 when I left, having completed my study of Philosophy
and Letters, I listened to around a thousand lectures, in that
elegant salon where the old Spanish aristocracy went to do penance
for its frivolity on French beaches.

Garcia Lorca
