Before Time Could Change Them Trade cloth - 2001
de Cavafy, Constantine P.; Theoharis Constantine Theoharis; Gore Vidal
Resumen
Since his death almost seventy years ago, C. P. Cavafy has come to be recognized as one of the greatest poets of modern times. Elegiac, deeply sensual, and able to plumb the heart with language of immense richness, Cavafy evokes the great lost classical world of the Mediterranean with unparalleled beauty. Much of his poetry deals with love, specifically homosexual love. It speaks of human passions, the experience common to all mankind of love offered, sought, and lost. His verse is beautiful and embracing, and remains as alive and sensuous as it was when he wrote it.
Theoharis Constantine Theoharis offers a new translation, one that presents Cavafy's work in the thematic order Cavafy wanted it published and emphasizes the tenderness and intensity of the love poems. Gore Vidal's foreword offers an explication of Cavafy's world, a valuable map for readers of what will be embraced as a signal volume of world poetry.

The City
You said: "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.
Another city will turn up, a better one than this.
My efforts-each is judged and damned beforehand,
and my heart is buried, like a dead man.
And my mind, how long will it remain in this morass.
Anywhere I turn my eye, anywhere I look,
the black ruins of my life are what I see here,
where I have spent so many years, where I have botched and
spoiled so many."
You will not find other places, you will not find other seas.
The city will follow you. All roads you walk
will be these roads. And you will age in these same neighborhoods;
and in these same houses you will go gray.
Always you will end up in this city. For you
there is no boat-abandon hope of that-no road to other things.
The way you've botched your life here, in this small corner,
makes for your ruin everywhere on earth.
