las mariposas.
"It was then that she realized that the yellow butterflies preceded the appearances of Mauricio Babilonia. She had seen them before, especially over the garage, and she had thought that they were drawn by the smell of paint. Once she had seen them fluttering about her head before she went into the movies. But when Mauricio Babilonia began to pursue her like a ghost that only she could identify in the crowd, she understood that the butterflies had something to do with him.....One night, while Meme was in the bathroom, Fernanda went into her bedroom by chance and there were so many butterflies that she could scarcely breathe."
I am nearing the end of Marquez's novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (Cien anos de soledad) and am getting lost in so many visual narrations. If you are looking for a good read, he is a fantastic choice! He also has a number of shorter novelas and stories.
