What you'll learn
Parallelism and anaphora in ceremonial speech: «Уявімо зал, у якому щойно розвісили полотна. Уявімо, що перший відвідувач зупинився перед букетом» (let us imagine ... let us imagine ...), «Хай говорять квіти. Хай говорять плоди. Хай говорять поля.» (let flowers speak, let fruit speak, let fields speak), «Підійдіть до першої картини. Підійдіть до другої.»
An unnamed fictional speaker addresses an imagined exhibition. The facts about Kateryna Bilokur (life 1900-1961, self-taught, flowers and fruit, Paris in 1954, museum, albums) come from the Encyclopedia of Ukraine; the exhibition is the author's invention and no real event or real official appears in the text.
