  "Amb Granit, Carles Minuchin, tot adoptant la veu femenina quan parla la primera veu de la poesia, ha creat aquest cant de denúncia, de resistència, d'expressió del dolor, dels traus i de les ferides que tantes dones han patit i que encara pateixen, cant a la lluita per un altre món possible. Per açò en el cant de Granit hi ha també el convenciment i l'esperança d'aquest futur en què siguin esborrades les fronteres que encara impedeixen la igualtat i, per tant, el gaudi d'una vida en plenitud per a totes les dones." (Del pròleg de Pere Gomila)

  La mare eterna by Ignasi Iglesias is a play written in the early 20th century. Set in a prosperous farmhouse in the Vallès, it explores the pull between religious duty and earthly love as the seminarian Gabriel wavers between a promise to his late mother and his growing feelings for his cousin Marió. The poet Florenci, a frail guest from the city enamored of rural life, champions vitality, art, and freedom, unsettling the devout farmer Andreu and inspiring the hired hands. The drama promises a collision of piety, passion, and nature's call within a vividly rendered agrarian world. At the start of the play, Marió and her uncle Andreu prepare supper and worry about Florenci's sway over Gabriel; after Gabriel and Florenci return from the fields, the farmhands join, and while Andreu leads prayers, Florenci quietly recites his stirring "Cant de Juny," enchanting the workers and so moving Gabriel that he drops his breviary. The next morning Florenci coaxes Marió's feelings into view, and Gabriel—now in secular clothes—confides to Florenci that he lacks vocation and loves Marió; urged to choose life, he decides to tell his father. When the hands bustle off to cook a rustic snack (and beg Florenci for more verses), Gabriel declares his love to Marió; she resists out of duty and fear of censure but is clearly touched, leaving him a kissed flower as she withdraws in tears. The opening closes with Gabriel torn yet newly resolute, alone as the others depart.
