520 _a"Cap al tard : Poesies by Joan Alcover" is a collection of lyric and elegiac poems written in the early 20th century. The book explores Mallorcan landscapes and folk life, personal grief and faith, and a renewed sense of Catalan cultural identity. The poems first celebrate the Serra de Tramuntana and the sea, giving voice to hermits, pines, sirens, and a captive vulture to reflect on freedom, destiny, and the island’s soul. Pastoral scenes of villages and coves shift into moral and spiritual meditations, as a traveler finds refuge in an hermitage and the quiet is broken by an execution. The Elegies dwell on bells, childhood gardens, longing, and desolation, culminating in a dialogue with the Muse that turns private mourning—especially for lost children—into art and prayer. The book embraces the native tongue and history, honoring medieval valor in a poem of the cross, greeting Catalonia across the sea, and kindling a collective awakening in the vision of “the spark.” Addresses to fellow artists and island scenes add portraits of contemporary culture and place. The final section gathers youthful pieces of love and devotion and concludes with a visionary homage to Ramon Llull, binding nature, memory, sorrow, and hope into a single, resonant voice.
