When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path,
if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,
if you do not carry them within your soul,
if your soul does not set them up before you.

Pray that the road is long.
That the summer mornings are many, when,
with such pleasure, with such joy
you will enter ports seen for the first time;
stop at Phoenician markets,
and purchase fine merchandise,
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
and sensual perfumes of all kinds,
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
visit many Egyptian cities,
to learn and learn from scholars.

Always keep Ithaca in your mind.
To arrive there is your ultimate goal.
But do not hurry the voyage at all.
It is better to let it last for many years;
and to anchor at the island when you are old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
Without her you would have never set out on the road.
She has nothing more to give you.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.
Wise as you have become, with so much experience,
you must already have understood what Ithacas mean.

Constantinos P. Cavafis (1911)


Ithaca by C.P.Cavafis (with Sean Connery & Vangelis)




My friend Lakis at our last excursion to Agrafa mountains.

Boa noite Kostas
When I read Ithaca I remember Kavafis ( a superb poet)...and here is he. It´s a very emotional post...with your strong mood and the strong feeling of this road with great moments but a strong pain too.
Um abraço

Bonjour Kostas,

Une bien jolie illustration qui souligne magnifiquement ce texte de Constantinos P. Cavadis!!!
Toute la mythologie grecque remonte à la surface de ce joli paysage tant choyé par tous les Dieux grecs!!!
Un joli voyage dans le temps à travers ton magnifique cliché très réussi tant par la lumière qui s'en dégage et devenu vivant avec ce brave home qui devenu vieux a découvert Ithacas et peut repartir heureux de ce fabuleux voyage!!!
Amitiés

Hi Kostas
The dof gives the impression that there is no end
The menacing sky contrasts well with the fields while enhancing the mountains.

Hi Kostas

This one is really a master work
Splendid combination of warm and cold colors
Full of details with a superb cloud formation in the back
and the present of old man really is a bonus here

Hi Kostas,
Impressive composition with the lovely
yellow ground and the angry sky.
Very good contrast. Mountain range on
both sides, makes it even more dramatic.
Human presence is a bonus.
Have a nice weeek.
