Comments & Greek artists, Greek painters: I turn to you, Art of Poetry...

Greek poets & Greek artists, Greek painters


Yannis Stavrou, Rotonda, Thessaloniki, oil on canvas

Konstantinos Kavafis
Melancholy of Jason Kleander, Poet in Kommagini, A.D. 595

The aging of my body and my beauty
is a wound from a merciless knife.
I’m not resigned to it at all.
I turn to you, Art of Poetry,
because you have a kind of knowledge about drugs:
attempts to numb the pain, in Imagination and Language.

It is wound from a merciless knife.
Bring your drugs, Art of Poetry—
they numb the wound at least for a little while.
