Together with a group of friends I gathered today (Friday - May 4, 2018) at a public library for a pleasant literary evening, focusing on poetry.
I also brought my aromatherapy diffuser with lavender oil, which filled the room with a very refreshing spring fragrance.
This evening we were featuring Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), who is considered the most famous & influential Romanian poet, as well as the last major representative of the European Romanticism, and a significant promoter of the enlightened nationalism.
Aside of that, our reciters brought few personal compositions, which were absolutely beautiful and full of sensibility. For instance, Teo brought 2 poems composed by himself (called “Eminescu” and “Basarabia”) and Asiza brought a poem composed by her mother (called “Matanie”).
In addition, Maria recited “Prutul” and Dana recited a number of well-known Romanian poems, which brought back to each of us many dear memories.
Last, but not least, our friend, Ligia recited a poem “The Albatross”, by Charles Baudelaire, and Teo sang a heartfelt patriotic song, greeting the current spring time.
We wrapped up the evening with light refreshments, as well as good camaraderie amongst beautiful friends, with beautiful hearts, whose common denominator is the love for poetry.
Once again, my most sincere appreciation to all who joined me this evening, and until our paths will meet again, I wish you each have a wonderful rest of the spring!
