Those who go out early

 Lorca says that "Those who go out early" end up mired in numbers and laws. But what does he mean? First of all it is important to know that mired means to "become stuck in mud" so the poet is talking about physical impossibility caused by an external situation which in this case is the life in early 20th century New York itself. In fact, the poet says that "Those who go out early know in their bones there will be no paradise or loves that bloom and die." Garcia Lorca might be talking about the large crowd, who has to get up early and go work inside factories which can be a dehumanizing job when seen from a poetic sense of view. It is also important to notice that this poem was written during the years of the Great Depression so the poet might be reflecting on the misery of those years and how do they reflect inside of New York.
