Even if you lament it, people often say, you mustn’t change the past for it is a testimony of who you are today. The essence of this quote exists in the reason why the book is titled “A Wallflower’s Florilegium”. This book is a dream of my fourteen-year-old self who started composing poems and prose out of sheer curiosity and a rampant imagination in a world so focused on containing it. Derived from the Latin roots ‘flor’ (flower) and ‘legere’ (gather), “florilegium” invokes the image of a bouquet, though in modern English it means “an anthology”. The contents hold a garden of words I’ve nurtured in the concluding four years of my school life. Henceforth lies the world as seen through the eyes of a wallflower. I hope it leaves in your hands a florilegium of your own.
