Giorgos Seferis

                                                                                                      Wassily Kandinsky       

In the sea caves
there is  thirst, there is  love
there is an ecstasy
all hard like shells
you can hold them in your palm

In the sea caves
for  days I gazed at your eyes
And I didn't know you
nor did you know me.

Giorgos Seferis

Giorgos Seferis

                                             Konstantinos Maleas , Pine trees in Chalki

 As the pine trees
 keep the shape of the wind
 while the wind is gone,
 no longer there,

 So do the words
 they keep the shape of the man
 and the man is gone
 no longer there...

Giorgos Seferis

—     —    —

Όπως τα πεύκα
κρατούνε τη μορφή του αγέρα
ενώ ο αγέρας έφυγε,
δεν είναι εκεί,

Το ίδιο τα λόγια
φυλάγουν τη μορφή του ανθρώπου
κι ο άνθρωπος έφυγε
δεν είναι εκεί...
