Comments & Greek artists, Greek painters: what I longed for was solitude...


Yannis Stavrou, Warehouses, oil on canvas

If I chose to remain alone, what I longed for
was solitude, not this kind of waiting,
my soul shattered on the horizon,
these lines, these colors, this silence foam!

Greek poets, Giorgos Sepheris, from "Argonauts" translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard
