Many of Florit's writings were collaborations with him. About Florit and his personality Jimenez expressed: Por donde Eugenio Florit venga o vaya, anda por una senda apartada de estatuas y lirios. Exquisito de nacimiento, gris sencillo por suerte para él, está en la estirpe perpetua de la inmanente aristocracia poética y humana: el noble instinto, la buena conciencia, que con su cultivo lo miran y lo entienden todo hermano. Atenta comprensión delicada.[1] Eugenio Florit, esbelto tallo universal de español en Cuba. Pule su vida y su obra como ágata serena. Quedará de él en América y España, por su español perenne, una incorporación ansiosa y aguda. Lengua de pentecostés , espíritu de fuego blanco del alba y la tarde. Bella fórmula difícil que una al hombre., sin salirlo de su especie, con el rayo de luz, el surtidor y el cisne.[1] Published Works
