Setting Pen Pressure In Sai

TMLXC

Kavafis Konstantinos was born in Alexandria on April 29, 1863. Like many others, did not find the recognition it deserved until after his death 70 years later, grown into one of the best modern Greek poets and a few years later, an icon of gay culture, what remedy. Influenced by

Parnassianism and symbolism, Cavafy submitted their creations (or erotic historical theme) to a continuous process of review and refinement. He managed to convey in their writings the Human failings, fears and guilt.
The English Luis Cernuda was influenced by his poetry.

Apoleipei



At midnight, when suddenly you hear an invisible procession passing accompanied by exquisite music and voices do not regret -in vain-the kind that lose: your jobs lost, your plans
ended with desire.
As he expected, with courage.
say goodbye, to Alexandria, away.
not be fooled, do not say it's a dream.
your ear wrong.
not be fooled into false hopes.
As he expected, with courage,
as befits someone who deserved
a city like this,
steadily
get close to the window and listen with deep emotion,
without regrets, without pleading cowards, as a last
pleasure sounds.
those wonderful instruments of this secret procession
and say goodbye to Alexandria and lose.
