Bullets of Rifles. Rafael Alberti was a poet of the generation of the 27,
poetic movement prior to the Spanish Civil War, he was affiliated to the
Communist Party, and he had to exile from Spain during forty years. With
Lorca, he is considered the best spanish poet of this century. In the poem
he feels so enraged that he lament that the words are not sufficient.

I would have liked it more if I could have understood it. I remember just
enough Spanish from school (the only language other than English that I am
any good at is Japanese, though I can still read some French if I try)
that I could get a sense of it and get a sense that it was really good and
that I was missing a lot.
I have known that feeling, though it wasn't from politics, it was from
love. It's so hard.
So are you on this list all the time, just lurking, and accidentally sent
this to the list when you were sending to all your friends? I don't
recall you have posted before.
Well, I did like the poem and I kept it, so don't feel too bad.

Oooooooh, that's a good idea! I love political plot lines for games! It
could be you could have a poet in trouble could be the patron, or maybe to
rescue a Zhodani poet/writer is your job, either so that s/he can escape a
fate worse than death or s/he can help the cause of peace or whatever...

Those exiled poets would probably be the toast of Rim culture. Anything to
make the Solomani look bad. Of course, solSec wouldn't approve.
Scenario: A prominent Solomani writer has jumped the line, and is now
touring the Imperial sections of the Rim, giving speeches and readings.
The characters are assigned/hired to escort him. Possible problems:
A very good ObTrav.

Poets usually don't have any money, but this reminds me of a movie I saw
once... Hmm... The spaceship is idling on the tarmac of the downport
formerly held by Solomani, but recently overrun by the Imperium. The
formerly incorrigible spaceport saloon keeper (reminds one of Han Solo,
just in it for the money) is now saying the wife (played by Ingrid Bergman)
of the great Solomani poet, Victor Lazlo, "And you never will. But I've
got a job to do, too. And where I'm going you can't follow. What I've got
to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it
doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't
amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Some day you'll understand
that. Here's looking at you, kid."
Reminds me of Loren's version of the "Episode 1".

Famous poets of the Imperium?, Influence of poets and writers in the
Imperial culture?, What would be the support of the Imperial Authorities to
exiled Solomani poets? (Poets who criticised the idea of Solomani
superiority)
