"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."
"For me, it's a heartfelt gift. It's all there in those lines, It is the mark of flesh / That I left behind, when I departed / So as to know my place / Upon my return."
"While the verse may have been overlooked because it was scribbled on the back of another work, it nonetheless revealed the importance that the concept of time held for Lorca."

The verse was found on the back of a manuscript of 'Gacela de la raiz amarga' purchased by flamenco singer Miguel Poveda. Verified by Lorca expert Pepa Merlo, the poem reflects Lorca's concerns with the passage of time. Poveda expressed deep emotion over the discovery, highlighting the significance of the lines that discuss the poet's existence and return.
