The term "convalescent" in literature has been employed both in its literal sense—referring to a person recovering from illness—and in a more metaphorical or extended sense. For instance, authors often depict individuals described as convalescent to highlight their physical fragility and cautious manner of returning to health, as seen when a character is “still convalescent” and must barely walk ([1], [2], [3]), or when someone is said to behave “with the caution of a convalescent,” mindful not to disrupt the progress of things in a delicate state ([4]). In other contexts, the word is used to refer to places of recuperation, like the “great Convalescent camp” that serves as a setting for recovery or regrouping ([5], [6]), and even extends to describe personal characteristics, such as a voice that carries the quality of one who is recovering ([7]). Additionally, the term sometimes takes on a symbolic role, as when nature itself is juxtaposed with the state of convalescence, suggesting a mutual relational process between recovery and renewal ([8], [9]). This multifaceted usage illustrates how "convalescent" bridges the concrete experience of physical healing with broader metaphorical themes in literature.
