Dedicated to Pr....ss

“On a clear, still day near the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, where the domain of the

Garden of Eden once stretched, through the transparent covers of the waves you can

sometimes see a sea flower, a wondrous creation of nature: lacy leaves and a network of veins,

purple, brown, pink, violet and golden tones, velvety fabric, the freshness of a living filigree

jewel; but all this fades as soon as the curious takes the plant out of the sea and throws it on

the sand. In the same way, the bright sun of publicity would offend your holy modesty.

Therefore, in dedicating my work to you, | hesitate to mention your name; but thanks to this

default, your lovely hands can bless my work, your bright forehead can bend thoughtfully over

its pages, your eyes full of motherly love can smile at him – because you will remain in that

depth where your beautiful life blossomed, just as how a pearl of marine flora lurks on a

smooth and bright sandy bottom, hidden by an azure wave and accessible only to a friendly,

modest look. | would like to place at your feet a work worthy of your spiritual charm, but if | did

not succeed, | will hope to console myself with your innate tendency to patronize tenderness,

nourished by kindness and love. Author".
