A good idea for a horror movie but ruined bc of shortness and incapability of the writer to make it actually scary or creepy.

امتیازی که این کتاب تونست ازم بگیره، به خاطر خوب بودن داستان نبود، به خاطر خاص بودن داستان بود؛ دو جای این داستان برام خاص بود، بی شک یکی از اونها قسمت پایانی عجیبش بود که احتمالا برای بسیاری از خوانندگان خاصه، اما دومی توصیفاتی بود که دوباره حسی غریب رو برام‌ تداعی کرد؛ گاهی آدم تو موقعیت هایی قرار میگیره که این احساس وجودش رو پر میکنه، احساس کوچک بودن و در عین حال جزئی از کلی بسیار بزرگتر بودن؛ شاید این حس رو در شبی کویری با نگاه به آسمون تجربه کرده باشید یا شاید در گرمای بعدازظهر منطقه ای روستایی وقتی نسیم به آرومی خوشه های گندم رو موج میده، در غروبی که لب ساحل گذروندید...

What the “Blue Bouquet” was, and why a secondary character would want to create one with the unwilling participation of the principal protagonist are both triumphs of the macabre imagination. The mystery they created made me wish the story could have gone longer. Perhaps the author’s inspiration stalled, or maybe it was precisely what he intended to do to his readers. I do not know.

جالب بود اما انقدرها چشمگیر نبود! به نظرم یک مقدار معمولی و کمی بی هدف!

It's not easy to encapsulate every miniscule detail to make up a two page short story. The writer succeeds in establishing the essence of innocence, conflict, terror, fear and love with excellent choice of words. Still it wasn't something that I enjoyed. It looks bland superficially but needs deep analysis to actually understand what the author means to portray. Not my taste.
(Read it as a part of my English Major.)

داستان در پی انداختن یک هوک سنگین و ایجاد تعلیق است که اصلا در آن موفق نیست.

“The Blue Bouquet” is a dreamlike parable of desire, fear, and poetic violence. In this brief, unsettling story, romance appears as menace—the dark underside of longing.

The narrator encounters a man who wants his blue eyes. Desire here is literalized as consumption. Romance becomes a threat.

Paz fuses surrealism with lyric intensity. The story unfolds like a nightmare logic, where attraction and danger are inseparable. Love is not gentle; it is invasive.

“The Blue Bouquet” exposes the violence embedded in idealization. To desire the beloved’s beauty is to risk erasing the person. Romance becomes objectification taken to its extreme conclusion.

The story’s brevity intensifies its impact. There is no escape, no explanation. Romance is revealed as a force that can devour.

Paz suggests that poetry itself shares this danger. To turn another into a symbol is to strip them of autonomy. Love and art collide in ethical tension.

“The Blue Bouquet” stands as a warning: romance, when detached from recognition, becomes predatory.

It is a fitting final entry—reminding us that love, in literature, is never innocent. It illuminates, wounds, binds, and destroys.

2.7/5
interesting but not quite that much interesting

it is a strange, dreamlike story that starts quietly but quickly turns unsettling. Paz creates a vivid nighttime atmosphere, yet the plot shifts so suddenly from peaceful wandering to a man demanding blue eyes that it feels jarring rather than profound. While the surreal tone captures the fear of being an outsider, the symbolism often appears too abrupt to be fully satisfying. The story’s brevity makes its themes interesting but underdeveloped. Overall, it’s an intriguing read, but the shock value outweighs its emotional impact, leaving the experience feeling more confusing than meaningful.

“... Vibraba la noche, llena de hojas e insectos. Los grillos vivaqueaban entre las hierbas altas. Alcé la cara: arriba también habían establecido campamento las estrellas. Pensé que el universo era un vasto sistema de señales, una conversación entre seres inmensos. Mis actos, el serrucho del grillo, el parpadeo de la estrella, no eran sino pausas y sílabas, frases dispersas de aquel diálogo...”

ظاهراً داستانش پر از نمادهای مختلفه.‌ اول من می‌خونیم زیاد متوجه نمیشیم یا به نظرمون پیام و مفهوم خاصی نداره. ولی باید نقدش رو هم خوند. البته به نظر من اگر برای فهم یک داستان باید حتماً نقدش رو بخونیم، یعنی داستان خودش کافی نبوده، و این یه نقصه.

سرم رو رو به آسمون گرفتم: اون بالا هم ستاره ها نشسته بودند.‌ فکر کردم جهان یه مجموعه بزرگ و وسیع از نشانه هاست، گفتگوی موجودات عظیم. حرکات من، آواز جیرجیرک، چشمک ستاره، همه و همه جزء آوای اون گفتگوها بودند.

Un pequeño cuento de terror que bien podría pasar en cualquier momento en este mundo. Caprichos que tiene la gente sin tomar en consideración a las otras personas.
