We are always the light and the shadow.
You always the lii' star and I the dark vessel,
You always the port and I am the lighthouse, starboard. The soppy wharf and the glistening on the oars.
Up at the house with the vine-covered patios the climber roses, and the water that chills;
You, the tilted shutter; I, the wind that blows it open
because I love you and I love you;
You always the coin
and I the adoration that reimburses it.
it’s still too soon in this world, hearken; the monsters aren’t tamed yet; hearken; my wasted blood and the sharp-pointed, hearken; dagger Like a ram that hastens through the skies and bashes the twigs of the stars it’s me; hearken; I love you; hearken;
#klamille#poetry#Odysseas Elytis#surrealism#the monogram#few verses from a Greek poem#it makes me sad that there is no official translation of this amazing poem#it makes me sad that even if there was nothing can communicate the feeling you get reading it in Greek#the ultimate love poem the way love confronts existence and transforms into something greater#into something divine
