The words inscribed on this artwork derive from the Homeric hymn "To the Muses and Apollo (A les muses i a Apol-ló)," translated by Joan Maragall in 1913. It reads: "He is fortunate whom the Muses love / the voice flows sweet from his lips. / I salute you, children of Zeus; honor my singing, / and I will take heed both for you and for other songs (Sortós aquell a qui les Muses amen, / que de la seva boca flueix dolça la veu! / Salut, filles de Zeus! Honreu mon himne, i jo / recordaré a vosaltres, encara, en altre cant)."
