Our aim is to present the Greek landscapes in a holistic way: Greek landscapes refer to pictures and images of Greece, to paintings and art, to poetry and literature, to ancient philosophy and history, to contemporary thought and culture...

Comments & Greek artists, Greek painters: O World! O Life! O Time! On whose last steps I climb...

Poetry & Greek artists, contemporary Greek painters


Yannis Stavrou, Attica Landscape, oil on canvas

Percy Shelley


A Lament

O World! O Life! O Time!
On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before;
When will return the glory of your prime?
No more -Oh, never more!

Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight:
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more -Oh, never more!
