The handsome front cover of her work shows an image of Jacques-Louis David's painting Adieux de Telemaque et d'
Eucharis. The eternal correspondence among prose, poetry, rhyme and rhythm, but also the attraction fed by this tension is portrayed in David's painting: the male and female, the red and blue,
Eucharis holding on, Telemaque pushing away, both prepared for some sort of battle: quiver and spear.
Other bulbs which may come back depending on the rain and snow include Gladiolus calianthus, canna, crinum,
eucharis, Nerine bowdenii, tigridia and Zantedeschia aethiopica.
