Comments & Greek artists, Greek painters: Open always, always watching, the eyes of my soul...

Greek poetry & Greek artists, Greek painters, Greek paintings


Yannis Stavrou, Hydra landscape, oil on canvas

A great Greek poet...

The so called national poet of Greece...

Dionysios Solomos

Free Besieged


SWEET and free the soul, like she is gone, / and they raised in smile the wounded front.

15.

Have you as many has the East and as many the West wishes.


22.

Chasm of quake bringing forth flowers that tremor in the air.

23.

Thousands of sounds innumerous, in great creation's depths; / The East was starting it, ending it the West. / Some from the East and from the West some; / Every sound had a joy, every joy a love.


32.

Complaint waste of time in whatever one might lose.

33.

Joy in my eyes I wish to see, the much beloved, / Cruel dream revealed into the shroud shut.


36.

Open always, always watching, the eyes of my soul.


41.

Small light and far in darkness great and desolate.

43.

To depth from depth falls until was no one left; / there of came forth invincible.

49.

Probes you the stone you hold, and holds itself a voice.


52.

In this world flows and in worlds beyond arrives.
