What is the author's style in The Crime Was in Granada by Antonio Machado?

The Crime Was in Granada is a type of poem known as an elegy, a poem written in memory of someone who has died. Machado's elegy, on the whole, is quite restrained emotionally. His drive in the first part of the poem is to memorialize Lorca as one casualty of war among many, as the description of Lorca's assassination brings to mind any number of assassinations that took place during the Spanish Civil War. The second part of The Crime Was in Granada is similarly restrained, as Machado here is primarily interested in paying homage to Lorca as a brave man and a brilliant artist. Essentially, Machado waits until the final part of his elegy to convey his deep sorrow over Lorca's death.
