A group of your girls, like those of Almodóvar, “the Galdós girls”, have gotten together to pay tribute to you and thank you for giving them life. Isidora, hard-working and obliging. Electra, magnetic and revolutionary in spite of herself. Laura de la Cerda, ill and fragile, prudent and compassionate. Lucrecia, with Nell and Dolly clutching her hands. Bárbara, posed like a Greek statue. Casandra, staring into space; and Celia, curious and determined. You always were a “ladies’ man”, brought up by women, easily infatuated and always seeking their company.

“Without women, there is no art; [...] They are the charm of life, the incentive for ambitions large and small; the origin and wellspring of all virtues. [...]. The most glorious triumphs of good over evil are their work; the private misfortunes and public catastrophes are our work. Their inescapable destiny is to love man, and he must dedicate all his intelligence and all his love to them.”

The “Galdós girls” have met to spend some carefree hours in downtown Madrid, like you used to do, and pick a large bouquet of flowers—exotic, multiracial, multicultural flowers in bright and varied colours, with the scent of the Canary Islands of your childhood—as a metaphor for today's Madrid. They have climbed the Cuesta de Moyano with a lively step to leave many, many fresh-cut flowers, the kinds you liked, at the base of your statue: “When the roses die, the world turns serious.” A bouquet of fresh flowers. Flowers for Galdós.
