A posthumous gathering of poems reveals a poet’s intimate journey across youthful joy, restless longing, and quiet melancholy. Written between 1916 and 1923, the verses shift from sun‑lit mountain meadows and fragrant gardens to the shadowed corridors of illness and exile. Each piece offers a vivid snapshot—flowers drinking rain, evenings humming with promise, fleeting moments that glow like pearls on a dark water.
Framing the collection is a dreamlike monologue about the enigmatic princess Hyacintha, whose imagined islands and crystal‑bright palace become a symbolic terrain for the poet’s inner world. Through this lyrical map, the poems pulse with a fragile brilliance, turning personal sorrow into a shared yearning for a realm where chains fall away. Listeners are invited to wander the luminous, sometimes haunting, landscapes that echo a life lived on the edge of borders, where language itself feels like a fragile, shining bridge.
