Lilac by Øyvind Rimbereid Franz Kafka, Vienna 1924 After Kafka had corrected "A Hunger Artist", but before Dora rushed out to look for the flowers she wanted him to feel the scent of before it was too late, he scribbled on a piece of paper that he "had felt such a desperate need for water, to feel gigantic mouthfuls of water" stream past his ruined larynx, knowing full well that the dying don't drink water "but that only certain flowers drink as they die, not to mention lilacs, that continue to drink afterwards as well". Edouard Manet 1882 Lilac In A Glass, oil on canvas, Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Germany
