A Word about Constantine P. Cavafy
He wrote as if He was just pouring out
His feelings on paper for himself alone,
Simply released the poems to the ground,
Like birds without wings, that don’t know
Flying to high skies.
Dreemy, overwhelmed by great thoughts
About life, time, peace and wars,-
Greek Poet ahead of his time
From Alexandria.
He had individual style, his own handwriting,
His own view of everything that surrounded.
He didn’t like tinsel in poetry,
And didn’t recognize artificial sounds.
His words were simple, prosaic almost,
But each one weighed in gold bar.
Wisdom is brilliantly simple always
And overgrown with eternity star.
