"Llibre d''horas by Apeles Mestres" is a lyrical poetry collection written in the late 19th century. Shaped like a traditional book of hours, it traces a single day from dawn to night, blending vivid nature imagery with gentle philosophical reflections on time, presence, love, and a discreet sense of the divine. The morning poems awaken with the lark and first light, urging us to seize the only sure moment—now—while counseling calm, constancy,
and trust in a higher purpose. Midday celebrates sunlit fields alive with birds, blossoms, and buzzing life. Afternoon turns meditative: clouds transform and pass, losses are met with nature’s renewals, melancholy lengthens yet yields to hope, and twilight hushes the landscape as mountains sleep and two vigilant cats face off in a garden. Night widens the gaze to the cosmos—the moon’s silent path, the world stilled under silver light, the Angel of Sleep, the clock grinding moments into eternity, questions whispered to the stars—and closes with a luminous vision of God moving through sky, sea, and fields, affirming the quiet rhythms of life and a serene, steadfast faith.
