Branka - Karanfil s pjesnikova groba - Čuvaj se senjske ruke

In this work, Šenoa explores themes of love, death and nostalgia through characters who are confronted with their own emotions and inner conflicts. The poems are imbued with strong symbolism and a sense of the beauty of nature, while the influence of Croatian history and tradition is felt in the background.

At the center of the collection is Branka, an inspiring figure who symbolizes love and loss, and her character is intertwined through different narratives. The poet uses the motif of the carnation as a symbol of eternal love and memory, while the "hand of Senj" represents the threat and danger that threatens from the past. Šenoa masterfully combines lyrical intonation with dramatic elements, creating a deep emotional resonance that invites the reader to reflect on their own experiences and feelings. Through this collection, Šenoa leaves a strong mark on Croatian literature, inviting us to face our own shadows.
