  1. "The big Yes or No" is a poem I wrote in response to a Cavafy poem. I also give a translation of Cavafy's poem. The Cavafy poem was itself a response to Dante!

  8. Of Ionia

    That we broke their statues
    That we chased them from their temples
    By no means did the gods die of this
    Oh land of Ionia, you they still love,
    You their souls remember still.
    As an August morning dawns over you
    A living thrum of them quickens through your air
    And sometimes, faint, a youthful form,
    Indefinite, with rapid step,
    Over your hillsides passes

    C.P. Cavafy, translation mine #Cavafy #translation

    A living thrum of them quickens through your air
    And sometimes, faint, a youthful form,

  13. As Much As You Can

    And if you can’t shape your life the way you want,
    at least try as much as you can
    not to degrade it
    by too much contact with the world,
    by too much activity and talk.

    Try not to degrade it by dragging it along,
    taking it around and exposing it so often
    to the daily silliness
    of social events and parties,
    until it comes to seem a boring hanger-on.
