Lorca or Neruda?

[daregale]

The poet understands the incomprehensible.
Things that hate each other he calls friends.
He walks calmly in the night because he knows
that all paths are impossible.

that the knowledge of the impossibility of all paths would grant calmness seems to me more of an Eastern idea than a Western one. the experience of boundless impossibility tends to incite Western man to frenzied action and not to nonaction...

Sounds like Neruda to me.

Just on a whim I'd have to say Lorca.

Thank you, thank you for your hand here, on this path of impossibility.
