	[minstrels] Be Near Me -- Faiz Ahmed Faiz
		I have no particular sympathy for Faiz's Marxist politics, at least as expressed by politicians, but with Faiz you get the feeling that his views spring from a deep, passionate engagement with humanity, a concern for people, a love of life that one cannot help connecting to.
		I was going to say it's a simple poem, but perhaps it's not, since the Beloved in this poem is both the one he loves and the one who he feels will destroy him.
		The Granadan poet Federico Garcia Lorca was strongly influenced by the cante jondo tradition, and did much to revitalise it, and his poetry, although reflective of the surrealist (and Republican) trends of his time, is recognisably within the broad stream in which Faiz also sits.
