The Rose,
The imperishable rose that I do not want,
Hard of odors,
The black garden rose in the night,
The one in any garden and any insertion,
The rose rising from the light
Ashes through the art of alchemy,
The rose of Persians and Ariosto,
The one always alone,
Always the rose of roses,
Young platonic flower,
The burner and the blind rose that I can not,
The untouched rose. - Jorge Luis Borges

The last rose in the garden,
White rose blooming
Along with the fog.

But it's still so sweet
That it infuriates.

A little amnesic, how will you be then. - Attilio Bertolucci
