Rosa Centifolia Prolifera Foliacea, Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840)
Hail, ô roses, solemn stars!
Roses, roses living jewels of the infinite,
mouths, breasts, fragrant soul waves,
tears, kisses! grains and pollen of the moon,
ô sweet lotus on the ponds of the soul,
I greet you, solemn stars!
Federico Garcia Lorca (1898 – 1936), Prayer of the roses
