Reading edition
The stem of the cup has the form of a palm tree, under which two female figures, representing Catalonia and Provence, stand in a graceful embrace. Below the figures are engraved the two following inscriptions:—
Morta la diuhen qu'es, Mes jo la crech viva. (V. Balaguer.) Ah! se me sabien entèndre! Ah! se me voulien segui! (F. Mistral.)
(They say she is dead, but I believe she lives.) (Ah, if they could understand me! Ah, if they would follow me!)
