§ ----"I was given the Hellenic tongue
my house a humble
one on the sandy shores of Homer.
----My only care my
tongue on the sandy shores of Homer.
The sea-bream and
perch
----windbeaten verbs
green currents with
the cerulean
----all that I saw
blazing in my entrails
sponges, medusae
----with the first
words of the Sirens
pink shells with
their first dark tremors."
(from Axion Esti, 1959)
