  • Catalogue Essay

    Not it the soil sustaining his tower of living vigour,
    about the stubborn boulders his massy roots entwine:
    he greets the dews and showers, chill wind and torrid rigour;
    and, like the ancient prophet, the smiles of heaven transfigure
    his form with life divine.
    (stanza from El Pi de Formentor, Costa i Llobera, 1875)

    Miró was inspired by Costa i Llobera's poem - an ode to the native cedar trees of Spanish Catalan island Majorca's Formentor Peninsula.
