The island (Η νήσος) Painting by Yiannis Adamakis, 2000

[elladastinkardiamou]

In these dark rooms where I live out empty days, I wander round and round trying to find the windows. It will be a great relief when a window opens. But the windows aren’t there to be found – or at least I can’t find them. Perhaps the light will prove another tyranny. Who knows what new things it will expose?

Constantine Cavafy. Windows (1903).

From Collected Poems translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard, The Hogarth Press.

----- Σ’ αυτές τες σκοτεινές κάμαρες, που περνώ μέρες βαριές, επάνω κάτω τριγυρνώ για νά ’βρω τα παράθυρα. — Όταν ανοίξει ένα παράθυρο θα ’ναι παρηγορία. — Μα τα παράθυρα δεν βρίσκονται, ή δεν μπορώ να τά ’βρω. Και καλύτερα ίσως να μην τα βρω. Ίσως το φως θα ’ναι μια νέα τυραννία. Ποιος ξέρει τι καινούρια πράγματα θα δείξει.

Κ.Π. ΚΑΒΑΦΗΣ. ΤΑ ΠΑΡΑΘΥΡΑ (1903).

Painting: Yiannis Adamakis. "A night music" (Νυχτερινή μουσική). 2017.
