not only the beds on which you lay,
but also those desires which for you
plainly glowed in the eyes,
and trembled in the voice

AlaaOsama: Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon don’t be afraid of them
you’ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.

They see that the time will come when Ephialtes
Will tell the secret to the Medes and they
Will know the way to get in through the goat-path.”

misha_saul: "The god abandons Antony"
- Constantine P. Cavafy
bernardtjoy: it seemed to me you stood before me: as you must have been
in Alexandria after it had been conquered,
pale and wearied, perfect in your sorrow,
still hoping they’d have mercy on you,
those vile men who whispered
“surfeit of Caesars.”
—Constantine P. Cavafy

Constantine P. Cavafy
Morning Sea (excerpt)
Let me too look at Nature for a while.
...
illuminated, beautiful and grand.
Let me pretend that these are what I see ...
instead of seeing, even here, my fantasies,
my recollections, the icons of pleasure.
DurrellSociety: And these few who knew wondered which of Them he was,
And for what terrible sensualities he hunted
Through the crooked streets of Seleukeia. . . .
— Constantine P. Cavafy, “One of Their Gods”

Yannis Tsarouchis
DurrellSociety: My dear Cavafy

bernardtjoy: I also love the crown (not the most common choice for the time). It’s said of Constantine P. Cavafy that he retained his adolescent love of jewels into full adulthood. I feel I’ve made a similar retention.
