—-”I was given the Hellenic tongue
my house a humble one on the sandy shores of Homer.
—-My only care my tongue on the sandy shores of Homer.
The sea-bream and perch
—-windbeaten verbs
green currents with the cerulean
—-all that I saw blazing in my entrails
sponges, medusae
—-with the first words of the Sirens
pink shells with their first dark tremors.“
(from Axion Esti, 1959)
