Orfea alebo Zimný priesmyk / Orfea or the Mountain Pass in Winter

A collection of poems that create an elegy to love, "orakulum visuell," a mystery seen with the inner eye. Orfea is the female parallel to Orfeus and she has decided to enter the underworld of disappearing love to win back her partner by writing rather than singing. The wintery mountain pass is the spiritual symbol of repetition, denial, forgiveness and of redemption of love by love. Physically, it represents the border, the underground divide, the hermetic map of two interconnected beings who love each other and whose worlds can be joined under one circumstance: if God is willing. If He is not, all that is earthly must perish together with our presence on earth.
