Breathing life into the rugged beauty of nature, Licarayen sings of the ephemeral essence of flowers. It conjures vivid pictures of a secluded garden where flowers of all kinds thrive in waves of fertility. The legend, too, about the woman who sacrificed herself to stop an evil volcano spirit, makes my heart swell and quake with wonder.
The volcano is Osorno and Licarayen sacrificed herself to save her people; it was from the ashes and snow of her sacrifice that Lake Llanquihue in Chile was created.
