This is an automatically translated description

Lesia Ukrainka (Larysa Petrivna Kosach) was a Ukrainian writer, translator, and cultural activist. She wrote in the genres of poetry, lyrics, epic, drama, prose, and journalism. She also worked in the field of folklore (220 folk melodies were recorded with her voice).

The message «Your letters always smell like wilted roses…» is an example of the poetess's intimate lyrics. The rose is a symbol of sad, unfulfilled, but not forgotten love and deceased love, the loss of a dear person. The writing of this work in Lesya Ukrainka's work is associated with the death of her close friend Serhiy Merzhynsky.
