no 20. Flor Fantasma
\nCatalan: Ghost Flower
\nShe appears at midnight on the last night of the year. She\u2019s the most delicate of all. With each toll of the bell she sends a greeting to beings and phenomena, important and unimportant, and finally to no one else. And then buries herself for another year with a silent curse: tururut!<\/p>\n
Illustration for poetry by the Catalan poet Merc\u00e8 Rodoreda, from the volume \"Flors de Deb\u00f2\" (\"True Flowers\"). Description and titles based on the translation by Barbara \u0141uczak.<\/p>\n
The writer, beloved by Catalans, was both a flower lover and a person with unbridled imagination and great emotional sensitivity. The flowers in her poetic prose are multidimensional characters, they take the reader into a completely wild and free gallop of associations. So there is a flower from the Forest of Broken Mirrors, a flower from the black of a thousand black ants, a fork fish, giggling bouquets that flow down rivers to the sea, flowers traveling on their bulbs like flocks of ducks, etc.<\/p>\n
Illustrations from the \"Fantastic Herbarium\" were exhibited at the Cervantes Institute in Krakow, at Planet 11 in Olsztyn and at the Stargard Cultural Center.<\/p>\n
